In an interview with popular TV anchor Ramya, Samantha had opened up about her diagnosis and subsequent treatment, which she called a “dark time” in her life.
“Somedays getting up from bed is difficult. Somedays I want to fight. Slowly the days I want to fight are getting more and more than the days I want to give up.” She also pacified the concerns of her fans, reiterating that her life was not in immediate danger. “I’m not dying anytime soon. Yes, it is autoimmune. It’s taking time. It’s draining and tiring, but I have always been a fighter. I am going to fight,” she had said.
Her latest release Yashoda, meanwhile, has debuted to solid numbers at the box office on its opening day. According to trade analysts, the medical thriller had earned about Rs 3.5 crore globally on day one.
