Samantha Ruth Prabhu appears in a video that is part of a Film Companion interactive session. Taapsee Pannu, Sidharth Malhotra, Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, and adarsh gourav were among the cast members. They were all asked to characterise the year 2021 in one phrase in the clip. When Samantha's turn came to respond, she paused for a moment, as if trying to think of the proper word, before responding, 'Rough,' with her trademark bright smile. Samantha's response makes sense, given that the Kaththi heroine just divorced naga Chaitanya, her husband of over 4 years.
In the video's comments area, fans showered the starlet with love and support. "Rough for sam," one fan remarked, "and we're always behind her." "I really wish you all happiness..." read other comments. I imagine how tough 2021 was for you... "Only affection to you at all times."
