Samantha had to work hard for Shaakuntalam on Sunday (January 8) to preserve "grace and poise," which she joked she struggled with. Taking to Instagram, she published a post where she first show a video of her dog Sasha lazying around in the house, and the second snap shows Samantha taking a graceful stance although "it doesn't come easy". She also joked that she might have used Sasha for training.
Sam wrote, "The toughest part of Shakuntalam was maintaining grace and posture while walking, talking, running and even crying. And grace is sooo not my thing 😂 had to take training sessions for it! Should have taken Sasha along. Clearly so not her thing either. #LikeMotherLikeDaughter."
