Samantha on a break

Samantha is currently on an acting break. She arrived at the decision after wrapping up the Indian chapter of the web series Citadel. The break is to primarily focus on her health, and undergo treatment for autoimmune condition myositis in the US, as per a source close to the actor.

“Few months back, Samantha decided that she will be taking a break from acting, and was just waiting to wrap up her projects — Kushi with Vijay Deverakonda and the Indian segment of Citadel with Varun Dhawan. When I checked with her a few months back, she told me that she is not signing any projects currently,” the source earlier told Hindustan Times.

Ever since Samantha has been on the acting break, she has been keeping her fans updated about her life. From visiting temples to going on road trips, she has been making the most of her free time.

Recently, Samantha took to Instagram to share a bunch of pictures from her recent visit to Isha Foundation. Her post read: “A while ago, sitting still — without thoughts flooding, without twitching, itching, twisting and turning — seemed almost impossible. But today, a meditative state is my most powerful source of strength. Of calm. Of connection. And of clarity… Who would have thought that something so simple could be so powerful.”
