Samantha breaks down as she speaks about battling myositis

Samantha broke down during the promotion of Yashoda while talking about her experience with her illness.

“Some days are good, and some days are bad. There are days when I feel like I can’t take one more step further. And there are days when I look back, I feel surprised that I have come so far. I’m here to fight. I’m not the only one, I know that. There are a lot of people who are fighting many battles. We win in the end,” she added.

In a lighter vein, Samantha also ridiculed a few news headlines that presented her condition grimmer than it actually was.

“I also saw a lot of articles saying that my condition was life-threatening. The stage I’m in is not life-threatening. It’s difficult, but I’m here to fight. At least for the time being, I’m not going to die,” she quipped.

Yashoda is written and directed by filmmaker duo Hari Shankar and Harish Narayan.
