The spokesperson told Hindustan Times, “There’s absolutely no truth in Samantha being hospitalised. These are baseless reports. She is healthy and fine at home”.

Recently, during the promotions of Yashoda, in an interview, Sam opened up about her illness and turned emotional while talking about it. She revealed how she dealt with her health condition.

She said, “As I said in my post (Instagram), some days are good, some are bad. Some days, I’ve felt even taking one more step would be difficult. But when I look back, I wonder I’ve gone through so much and have come this far. I’m here to fight.”

The Family Man 2 actress also clarified that her condition is not ‘life-threatening’ as she slammed the reports claiming it so. “I want to clear one thing. I saw a lot of articles describing my condition as life-threatening. The stage I’m in, it’s not life-threatening. At the moment, I’m not dead yet. I don’t think those headlines were very necessary,” she added.

On the work front, Samantha’s lastest release Yashoda was very much raved by moviegoers and critics. She will also be next seen in Kushi with Vijay Deverakonda and mythological drama Shakuntalam.
