Following the announcement of her separation from Naga Chaitanya, actor Samantha has been subjected to trolling and forced to deal with unfounded rumours. Nevertheless, some of her colleagues from the film fraternity have extended their support to her. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, when her Rangasthalam co-star Ram Charan was asked, “What would you tell Samantha if you meet her today?” he replied, “Come back stronger and bigger.”
Several fans who were happy with the answer shared the interview clip on social media. Subsequently, Samantha also took to Twitter to reshare the clip.
Speaking about the attacks on her after the divorce announcement on October 2, Samantha wrote in a statement, “Your emotional investment into a personal crisis has overwhelmed me. Thank you all for showing deep empathy, concern and for defending me against false rumours and stories that are being spread. They say I had affairs, never wanted children, that I am an opportunist and now that I have had abortions. A divorce in itself is an extremely painful process. Let alone allowing me the time to heal. This attack on me personally has been relentless. But I promise you this, I will never allow this or anything else they say, break me (sic).”
