Soon, she was swarmed with offers from both Bollywood and Hollywood, having already carved her name in the Telugu and Tamil film industries.

As things go, her fans really can't seem to get enough of her and are dying to see more breathtaking performances from her in the upcoming films.

However, did you know that she admitted one interesting thing during one of her older interviews, thereby establishing her credentials of being brutally honest about everything in her life?

The actress was actually asked in an old interview that if she were given a chance to choose between food and ***, what would be her answer.

Now, remember, this is one question that most celebs would think a lot about before answering.

However, to Samantha's credit, she did hesitate a little before actually answering what she honestly thought she'd want. She said that while she could afford to go hungry without food, *** would be something she would not be able to live without.

“***. I can go hungry any day,” she can be heard saying in the interview before breaking into laughter. 

Honestly, it's actually a fresh breath of air hearing her honest admission, especially at a time when Bollywood stars and other celebs have to be very careful about the things they say in public.

On her personal life front, Samatha's separation from actor Naga Chaitanya has been garnering headlines in the media for quite some time, with many even shamelessly trolling her for some reason.

Replying to those trolls, Samantha put up a lengthy Twitter post where she wrote:

“People have said that I don’t want a baby, I’m opportunistic, I’ve had an abortion, But divorce is a very painful process. Give me time to get out of this. This is a big blow to me; But I will not break this, this is my promise."

It's really sad, to be honest, but we are glad that a strong person like Samantha is very vocal about the things she wants in life.

We wish you luck and can't wait to see your incredible performances in other upcoming projects.
