Samantha' s tribute to the martyred : Netizans pour overwhelming love
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,June 05 2021]
Samantha's OTT debut Family man 2 was released yesterday and is receiving acclamation throughout India and Samantha is been praised for her bold choice of role and her acting.
Samantha is active in social media platforms and never misses to amaze netizans through her perfect photos and workout videos. Recently Samantha posted a picture of her along the directors of the series from the sets of Family Man 2 and she was seen wearing a camouflage uniform.
She captioned the image I was aware that portraying Raji's character required sensitivity and balance. The creative team shared documentaries of the Tamil struggle that included stories of women in the Eelam war. When I watched those documentaries, I was aghast and shocked by the troubles and unspeakable grief that the Tamils of Eelam went through over an extended period of time. I noticed that the aforementioned documentaries had only a few thousand views and that is when it dawned on me how the world just looked away when tens of thousands people of Eelam lost their lives. And, lakhs more lost their livelihood and their homes. Countless many continue to live in far away lands with the wounds of the civil strife still fresh in their hearts and minds. It is notable that she played the role Raji - a Eelam Tamil rebel in the series
She also went on to say that Raji's story, though fictional, to me, is a tribute to those that died because of an unequal war, and those who continue to live in the painful memory of the war. I was particular about Raji's portrayal being balanced, nuanced, and sensitive. I want Raji's story to be a stark, much-needed reminder for us, more than ever before, to come together as humans to fight hate, oppression, and greed. If we fail to do so, countless more will be denied their identity, liberty, and their right to self-determination.
As the actor is currently cherishing the success of her OTT debut, she will next be seen in a mythological film Shakunthalam in which is she is expected to play Shakunthala.
