In a recent appearance on a chat show, Samantha opened up on the relationship with her husband and co-star of numerous movies. The ‘Eega’ star stated that it took them eight years to be at the same point as there were times she ‘liked him’, but he was not in the 'same space'. Moreover, she added there were times when both were ready but external factors played spoilsport before eventually, everything fell into place.
With Samantha speaking about the eight-year journey, one can say that sparks had started flying between the couple when they worked on their first film together, ‘Ye Maaya Chesave' around 2009-10. However, something significant developed only five years later when they worked on movies like 'Manam' and 'Autonagar Surya' in 2014.
