Any actor or actress in the entertainment industry should follow a rule. They must not disclose any health issues, they may have, and project themselves as healthy, active, and strong. By doing so, they increase their chances of being offered more opportunities. If they reveal their weaknesses, their fanbase and the industry may slowly distance themselves from them.
An actor or actress who appears weak will gradually fade from the memories of their audience and the entertainment world.
Samantha's most significant mistake was revealing her weaknesses to the public. Although she may have received some sympathy initially, it ultimately had adverse consequences.
During the promotions of 'Shakunthalam,' she appeared vulnerable, but now during the promotions of 'Citadel,' she is presenting herself as strong, agile, and active. She should have done the same from the beginning, even during the promotions of 'Yashoda.'
Many people are now speculating that Samantha may have over projected her illness to gain sympathy from the public, which is a wrong conclusion to draw. Some are questioning how she's looking healthier all of a sudden.
Although she does have a manageable health issue, the way she presented it shocked many. Now that she is demonstrating her healthy look for professional reasons, she is viewed with suspicion. It is unfortunate!
Projecting a weak image is detrimental to the careers of both actors and actresses.
