Actress Samantha attended Business Today’s Most Powerful Women event on November 8 for a session titled The Star and the Start-up: Fame, Fans, Fortune. She discussed the pressures of being a public figure and becoming a role model for women around the world. The Citadel: Honey Bunny actor stressed the importance of embracing vulnerability rather than pretending to be innocent.

Samantha, who has been receiving praise for her performance in Raj and DK’s web series Citadel: Honey Bunny, shared her thoughts on expectations of perfection in the public eye. He said, “It’s important to let people know that you make mistakes and you also have flaws. The problem is when you try to hide all those flaws and mistakes and pretend to be perfect. That’s when you realize that Let’s go.” It’s extremely difficult to live up to the expectations or standards you set for yourself, when you’re out there, it becomes a lot easier for people to tell you, ‘Yes, I’m imperfect’.”

When asked about her approach to becoming a social influencer with a broader message, Samantha shared, “We all have the power to influence others. We constantly set the mood for those around us. Even your own mood can affect the mood of your family. I believe that some people have the power to inspire others toward love or hate. Unfortunately, many people choose to spread hatred. Use your influence.

He further added, “It’s difficult. If you’re trying to influence people towards positivity, love and empathy, taking on the responsibility of being responsible, we have this fear of being judged all the time. I don’t think That any of us have that choice in this case happens when we’re given this incredible gift of being in the public eye.”

Apart from Samantha, Citadel: Honey Bunny also stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role. The Prime Video series released on November 7 and is the Indian chapter of the American series starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden.
