It has also helped her navigate the uncertainties that followed her myositis diagnosis. \u201cInitially, would wonder if my health would make people think twice before casting me. But now I feel self-sufficient with everything that I\u2019m doing. My plate is full with the things I\u2019m creating on my own,\u201d says the actress who launched her production house with the Telugu horror-comedy Subham and followed it up with Maa Inti Bangaram.She adds, \u201cThrough my production house, I have the opportunity to stay in the film industry and do the things I love \u2014 not necessarily in front of the camera.\u201dAfter winning praise for her performances in The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny, Samantha says she wants to explore the action genre further. \u201cI was pleasantly surprised by the response that I received for my action scenes in The Family Man. It\u2019s not easy for the audience to accept a petite girl doing action, so I want to capitalise on that. I enjoy getting my hands dirty and getting punched in the face \u2014 not in real life! Doing such a role feels challenging and intoxicating.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samantha says producing films has given her something acting never could \u2014 creative independence.
