It's when we don't want to accept it and we are fighting it it's a never-ending battle. But when you accept when you vocalise 'this is my issue, so what now? I still have to live my life'.”

Specifically speaking about her separation with Naga Chaitanya, Samantha revealed, “ I know I'm still going to live my life and with all the issues that I now faced in my personal life, I was surprised at how strong I was.
