Nandini Reddy On How Samantha Has Changed

Talking to Hindustan Times, she said, "She’s really grown, trained, and evolved as a person. I mean, in many, many, many ways, I would say, emotionally, spiritually, strength-wise. I think she has really evolved into a completely different person. One thing that stays true to her from then to now is her incredible determination to achieve what she sets her eyes on.”

Talking about her multi-tasking skills, Nandini revealed, “She’s hard not only on everybody else, but she’s the hardest on herself. That hasn’t changed. But there’s an incredible amount of maturity and growth, especially spiritual growth. Today, she’s calmer, wiser, and more sorted as a person. And, of course, acting-wise, she has evolved phenomenally; that’s there to see. She makes it tangible that you feel what she’s feeling.”

On The Personal Front
