The actor revealed that prioritising sleep, food and mental wellbeing has given her a simpler, more intentional lifestyle, offering a fresh perspective on fear and what truly matters in life.
For Samantha, switching languages and mediums in film has never been about ticking boxes.
Instead, she embraces every challenge as an opportunity to grow, improve and elevate her craft further.
She explained: “When you’re switching industries and languages, the expectations keep getting higher, and I need to keep getting better at my craft. You never stop learning.”
Alongside her cinematic journey, Samantha is preparing to produce her first film, Subham, while also expanding into wellness-focused businesses, building ventures rooted in passion and personal meaning.
Speaking about her project choices, she said: “I don’t do projects half-heartedly, only the ones I go to sleep thinking about and wake up eager to work on.”
On screen, Samantha remains committed to roles that challenge her and tell meaningful stories, particularly those resonating with women.
Off-screen, she continues redefining herself as an entrepreneur and creative visionary.
