In a recent interview with Galatta India, Samantha candidly discussed her strained relationship with her father and how it influenced her self-perception. She reflected on her childhood struggles for validation and mentioned that her father, like many Indian parents, believed he was protecting her. Samantha recalled that her father often downplayed her abilities, which affected her confidence. She shared an instance where he remarked that her academic success was due to the "standard of Indian education" rather than her capabilities. These remarks, she noted, led her to believe for a long time that she was neither smart nor good enough.
Joseph Prabhu also made headlines following Samantha’s separation from Naga Chaitanya in October 2021. Nearly a year after their divorce, he shared throwback wedding pictures on Facebook, reflecting on their past. He admitted it took him a long time to accept their split and expressed his hope for new beginnings.
