Samantha posted the reels on her Instagram account with the caption, “Yashoda in theatres and ‘BTS.’ The video sees the actor fighting several stuntmen on the sets and doing jumps. It also shows the intense training that she went through, as she had to maintain a rigorous gym routine in order to perform exhausting action sequences.
As Samantha had recently been vocal about her fight with autoimmune disease, fans also sent warm wishes. One wrote, “Get well soon sam, physically and mentally too.. love you as an actor and person too.” Another wrote, “You are a true Warrior Sam, congratulations for YASHODA, Truly deserve it !!”
Earlier, Samantha had penned an emotional post for her gym trainer for helping her through the battle of Myositis. “The last few months you have been among the few people who has seen it all my lowest of lows… Through the weakness, through the tears, through the high dose steroid therapies… through it all. You didn’t let me give up.. and I know you won’t let me ever give up. Thank you,” a part of her post had read.
