Samantha Ruth Prabhu, one of the leading actresses in the Telugu film industry, is known for her versatility and incredible performances on screen. However, the actress has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. After successfully playing the sympathy card in her last movie, Yashoda, Samantha tried the same for her latest release, Shaakunthalam. But, the audience seems to have had enough of her theatrics.
Her attempt to gain sympathy for Shaakunthalam by revealing her personal struggles and her battle with myositis disease did not work in her favor. The movie has received negative reviews and has been rejected outrightly by the audience. Many people are criticizing Samantha for overacting and using her personal struggles to gain publicity for her movies.
Samantha’s close aides have advised her to stop playing the sympathy game and focus on her acting skills instead. They feel that her recent attempts at gaining sympathy have backfired, and it is time for her to focus on delivering quality performances on screen.
