Furthermore disclosed by the Super Deluxe actress was her sensitivity to light, which led to the beginning of her spectacles wear. I wake up every day with pins and needles in my eyes because as an actor, your eyes are a means to portray emotions. I react badly to light. My eyes are affected by light, therefore I don't just wear glasses for fashion or enjoyment. I've had severe migraines for the past eight months, and during those eight months, my eyes swelled from the discomfort. I think this is the worst thing that has ever happened to an actress," Samantha stated.

Samantha, meantime, is eagerly anticipating the premiere of her movie Shaakuntalam. It is anticipated to premiere on April 14. Moreover, she has begun filming for Raj and DK's Telugu drama Kushi, which also stars Vijay Deverakonda and is the India edition of Citadel.
