Samantha Akkineni made many new changes in her life during the coronavirus lockdown days. From rooftop gardening to learning how to cook Sam surprised her fans.

Besides acting, the charming actress found her new love that is gardening. She had even shared the pictures of her newly grown lettuce

She took to Instagram and wrote, "I finally found something I am passionate about that is not part of my job .. I was starting to get tired of answering people when they asked me ‘What is your hobby?' ...Me -'Acting’ ... Them - 'But that’s your job. What is your hobby ?’....(sic)”

Now the actress has requested her fans to be someone who doesn’t just eat healthy, but also grows healthy. She wrote, “Gardening is a game changer . Planting a seed can bring change. ‘Eat Healthy’ we hear this far too many times ... but I am telling you ‘Grow Healthy’ is even more simpler. All it takes is a little time and a little effort . And since 2020 still needs us to 'Stay home and stay safe ‘ I think we can manage (sic).”

She added, “Change any unused space in your home into an edible garden. Your terrace, balcony , window sill etc... over the next few weeks let’s grow together, share our experiences, learn from our mistakes and by the end of it be proud that we can feed ourselves . And god forbid if there is ever another lockdown we will not be the ones running to the store panic buying .. because in the words of Ron Finley we would be 'Gangsta Gardeners’ by then ... so who’s with me ... #GrowWithMe (sic).”
