Samantha's latest appearance at an event in Mumbai has sparked concerns among her fans. The actress has visibly lost a lot of weight amid health struggles and her fans are worried.

In the comments, a fan wrote, "Don't do too much Gym Sam, you are very beautiful." Another wrote, "Sam...don't get too slim... missing old cute Sam." And, a third added, "She's been quite sick for a few years on and off. Some autoimmune diseases. Not surprised if that's why."

Meanwhile, on Reddit, netizens are pointing out that the weight loss could be because of stress and personal hardships. In 2022, Samantha opened up about being diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune condition that is caused due to inflammation in the muscles.

A Reddit user commented, "I think now she tries to be happy. I wish her well. I hope she heals." Another wrote, "She’s fine and can use some good wishes. It’s not intentional weight loss, women go through a hell lot of hormonal changes many times, also health issues from time to time can make anyone lose or gain weight. It’s too much scrutiny."

A third added, "To manage her disease she must be on immunity suppressors and steroids, so maybe this is the reason for weight fluctuations. When u taper steroids weight loss is normal."

On the workfront, Samantha will be next seen opposite Varun Dhawan in Citadel: Honey Bunny.
