In an interview Samantha revealed that when she and her peers were starting they often faced rejection from designers. Reflecting on those times she shared, “There were moments when we South actors couldn’t source garments because designers would dismiss us questioning ‘Who are you? A South actor?'”
This statement has clearly explained the bias within the fashion industry that has historically favored Bollywood over regional cinema. The South Indian film industry despite its massive following and talented actors wasn’t always given the recognition it deserved in the fashion world. However, from being overlooked by designers to becoming trendsetters, actors like Samantha have played a crucial role in this transformation.
