Despite that, the directors have constantly approached her for their films. However, clarifying all the rumours regarding her break, her manager revealed how she is not able to focus on her health. Thus, in a conversation with Bollywood Life, Samantha's manager mentioned that the actress would take a six-month break and soon return to work. In the manager's words:
“Now that she’s back to work, she has offers from many directors and they are asking her for her dates. But she’s been busy recouping her health. So right now, she needs to take a break and think of which projects to take up and which to reject. So she’ll take a break for six months only and get back to work. Meanwhile, she’ll decide her next projects.”

I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front.”
