The source mentioned that she has been training for high-octane action under proper guidance and is trying hard to fight back against her rare disease. The source can be heard saying:

Samantha wants to give her best in whatever work she does and has proved it time and again. However, this sudden disease has left her disappointed and lost a little bit of hope.

Earlier, on October 29, 2022, Samantha had taken to her IG handle and addressed all the speculations regarding her health. She shared a picture from inside the hospital room and made a heart symbol with her fingers while being clicked. We could also spot a saline channel and oxygen mask attached to her. Along with the picture, she announces that she has been diagnosed with Myositis. Samantha had written:
“Your response to the Yashodha Trailer was overwhelming. It is this love and connection that I share with all of you, that gives me the strength to deal with the seemingly unending challenges that life throws at me. A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped. I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front.”

“Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. I love you. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.”
