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.

However, something significant developed only five years later when they worked on movies like 'Manam' and 'Autonagar Surya' in 2014.
