Meanwhile, another Instagram user asked, “Is this a routine or preparation for any role, to which Samantha replied, “Role,” along with a heart eyed emoji.

In her caption, Samantha wrote, “Action mode. Beast mode. A few years ago I had pretty much given up on ever having a strong back. I genuinely thought it just wasn’t in my genes. I’d see other people with great backs and think, “Yeah, that’s not going to be me.” But I was wrong. And honestly, I’m glad I was. So yes, I’m going to show it off now, because the work it took to get here was intense. Like intense intense. Showing up on days when I didn’t feel like it, when nothing seemed to be changing, when it would’ve been easier to quit.”

She further added that building muscles is very important not just for the way one looks, but for how they move and age. “Strength training did more for me than anything else. It taught me discipline, patience, and that “not in the genes” is just an excuse we repeat until we finally prove ourselves wrong. If you’re at that point where you’re close to giving up, don’t. Your future self will be so grateful you kept going,” she wrote.

On the professional front, Samantha recently made a cameo in the horror-comedy Subham, marking her debut as a producer. She is currently working on the web series ‘Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom’ with Aditya Roy Kapur and is set to start filming the Telugu action project Maa Inti Bangaram. Rumours also suggest she may be considered for the female lead in Arasan, starring Silambarasan TR and directed by Vetrimaaran, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
