On Saturday, Indian media reported that Samantha posted a heartfelt message on a black background, saying, “Until we meet again, Dad,” with a broken heart emoji. Fans were shocked by the news, and her family is deeply mourning this loss.
This tragic news comes shortly after the success of Citadel: Honey Bunny. Samantha and her co-star, Varun Dhawan, had just celebrated the Amazon Prime Video show’s success at a party on Thursday.

In a recent interview with Galatta India, Samantha opened up about her past relationship with her father. She admitted that it impacted her self-esteem. “Growing up, I always had to fight for validation. My father… like most Indian parents, thought he was protecting me,” she said.
She also shared that her father often downplayed her abilities, which affected her confidence. Despite their challenges, fans and friends are now sending love and support to Samantha and her family during this heartbreaking time.
