Samantha had her first brush with action last year, thanks to her role in The Family Man 2 (2021). A year on, the actor is already adept at boxing, kick-boxing, and has picked up the basics of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts (MMA). She credits the turnaround to her upcoming release Yashoda, and partly to her newfound love for action. “I never imagined myself doing action. My love for the genre has been a revelation to me,” she says.
