Samantha's post comes a week after the news portal took to Twitter and shared her pictures from the trailer launch of her upcoming film Shaakuntalam and made a comment on her. The tweet read, "Feeling sad for Samantha. She lost all her charm and glow. When everyone thought she came out of divorce strongly and her professional life is seeing heights, myositis hit her badly, making her weak again."

Responding to it, Samantha wrote, "I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did .. And here’s some love from me to add to your glow." Varun Dhawan had also defended Samantha and replied to the tweet. He wrote, “You don’t feel bad about anything you just care about clickbait feel bad for you son. Also glow is available in Instagram filters. Just meet Sam trust me she was glowing.”

Last year in November, Samantha took to Instagram and revealed that she has been suffering from a rare auto-immune disease called Myositis. She said that she is not at a life-threatening stage of the disease.

During the promotion of Yashoda, Samantha spoke about her health condition. “As I said in my post (Instagram), some days are good, some are bad. Some days, I felt that 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,” Samantha had said.

Samantha will be seen in director Gunasekhar's Shaakuntalam. The film revolves around the epic love story of Shakuntala and King Dushyant, portrayed by Samantha and Dev Mohan, respectively. It is set to hit theatres on February 17 in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
