In her post, Samantha revealed that she has been on a quest for alternative treatments after taking several expensive medications over the past few years. She expressed her privilege in being able to afford these treatments and her desire to find more accessible solutions.

Addressing the criticism, Samantha wrote, "A certain gentleman has attacked my post and my intentions with rather strong words. Said gentleman is a doctor too. I have no doubt that he knows more than I do. It would have been kind and compassionate of him had he not been so provocative with his words."

Fans and fellow celebrities quickly rallied to her support. Varun Dhawan, who will be seen alongside Samantha in the upcoming web series "Citadel: Honey Bunny," left a heart emoji in the comments section. Rhea Chakraborty commented, “Potatoes gonna potate,” while other stars like Kiara Advani, Tahira Kashyap, Rakul Preet Singh, and Manushi Chhillar showed their support by liking her post.

The doctor’s critique was severe, suggesting that Samantha’s advice could endanger public health. He wrote, “In a rational and scientifically progressive society, this woman would be charged with endangering public health and fined or put behind bars. She needs help or a better advisor in her team.”

On the professional front, Samantha is gearing up for the release of "Citadel: Honey Bunny," the Indian adaptation of the Russo brothers' "Citadel," where she stars opposite Varun Dhawan. Fans eagerly await the much-anticipated web series.
