Samantha who is constantly making headlines for the past few months for her personal life and professional life has recently opened up on why she kept a distance from Bollywood films in spite of working in Kollywood for many years.

Samantha made her Bollywood debut through a web series ‘Family Man 2’ and essayed the role of Raji. The actress garnered immense appreciation for her nail-biting performance in the show.

In a recent interview, when Samantha was asked if she is all geared for Bollywood, the actress said, “I had never thought I would do a web series, but that changed with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK’s show. I am learning to say never say never. The appreciation I received was more than what I had expected. I feel I have the confidence to accept newer challenges now.”

Sharing why she kept a distance from Bollywood for so long, Samantha said that she was finding her footing in the South and gained confidence in her work only in the last two years. “I was still making bad choices and not doing the kind of work that satisfied me. Things changed a great deal in the last two years, and now, I am confident about accepting challenges. I don’t try everything and then see what works. I usually take time to perfect something before moving on to another challenge. That’s why it has taken me this long to get this far,” she further added.
