Samantha had a concussion on Citadel sets

The actor, who was last seen in Citadel: Honey Bunny, had recently shared that she had a concussion on the sets of the show. In an interview with Galatta India, Samantha had said, “I had a concussion and I forgot the names after that. I completely blanked out. That was quite something. Now that I think of it, nobody took me to the hospital. Nobody asked me."

Samantha was earlier diagnosed with myositis

In 2022, Samantha revealed that she was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition myositis. Speaking with India Today, Samantha had said, “I was forced to go public about my disorder. At that time, I had my female-centric film due for release. I was very sick back then. It was hard and I wasn't ready. There were all sorts of speculation going around and misinformation being spread.”

She had also said, "The producers needed me to promote it. Otherwise, it (the film) would just die. So, I agreed to do one interview. Obviously, I didn't look the same. I had high doses of medication to keep me stable. I was forced to. Given a choice, I wouldn't have come out and announced it."
