Why Did Samantha Lock Herself In A Dark Room?

Samantha’s maiden web series, The Family Man Season 2 paid her rich dividends. She received appreciation from all quarters for her winning performance in the role of a rebellious Tamil lady in the series. She recently won the best actress award at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2021 for her winning act in The Family Man 2.

When asked about the efforts she put in to get into the skin of the seemingly complex character, Samantha said locked herself up in a dark room in a bid to figure out if she could add an additional layer to the character.

“I locked myself in a dark room and contemplated a lot as I prepared for the role. The idea behind it was to tap into an unexplored side of me as an actor that could add something new to the Raji character I played,” she said.

Samantha said her main aim was to portray all the pain and suffering Raji has been through all her life. Well, it appears to be that the Akkineni lady’s stunning performance in the sophomore season of The Family Man is a result of intense homework.

Sam recently wrapped up shooting for her upcoming mythological love drama, Shakuntalam.
