After love and marriage with Naga Chaitanya, Samantha gets very close to the Akkineni family. Nagarjuna, Amala and Akhil, everyone loved Samantha and owned her as one of them. Even after the divorce between Naga Chaitanya and Samantha, Akkineni Family didn't utter a single word against Samantha. The entire family respected their decision and handled the issue graciously. But, Samantha out of stress during that period, has revealed several things about them. She faced trolls about them on social media too. Samantha recently underwent a medical condition, Myositis. Though it is not a life-threatening condition, Samantha fighting hard to get back to normal. In her recent interview about Yashoda, she revealed her painful journey on her road to recovery. Not only her fans, everyone's eyes became wet after watching Samantha saying about her fight.
Samantha starrer Yashoda was released in theatres today. A former censor board member who is also a fan of Samantha spoke to the media channels. She said, " I personally like Samantha. I am her fan. She is beautiful and well-educated. She made a name for herself by facing all hurdles and reaching this stage. Keeping aside her film, She is currently fighting with Myositis. At this time, I want to request Akkineni Family. Samantha was Akkineni's family's daughter-in-law and wife of Naga Chaitanya. Though they got divorced, during these needy times Samantha needs support. I urge Akkineni Family and Naga Chaitanya to come to Samantha and take care of her by giving moral support which she needs at this time. We fans can't go to her and give her what she needs right now.
She apologised to the Akkineni family for involving in their personal lives. But, her demand got plenty of attention from all corners.
