Samantha on her past performances

Samantha on her past performances. Samantha completed milestone 15 years of journey in the industry. In the midst of all this, Samantha shared her thoughts and experiences and came up with a shocker over her past performances.

She said those were the roles where I struggled to fit into. . In the beginning, most of the glamorous characters didn’t feel like me. I was trying too hard to be like my fantastic peers — to look like them, act like them, dance like them. Looking back, those performances feel absolutely ridiculous, I think.”

On her journey she added “Fifteen years is a long time — parts of it feel like forever, and parts like a blur. I’ve come a long way since then. There are films I watch now and can’t believe how badly I acted, but that was my only way to learn. I had no mentors to guide me, and I didn’t know the language. I had to start from scratch, with no connections in the industry. Everything was new to me, and I learned entirely on the job.”

On whether she would like to change anything in her journey,she added” I’m not going to discount any of the highs, lows, achievements, successes over the past fifteen years. But I’m even more excited for the next fifteen. I feel more grounded now, more confident in who I am. I know my strengths, I know my limitations, and I’ve learned so much along the way. It’s time to put all those learnings to use. I truly love what I do. I’m juggling many things at once right now, but none of it feels stressful. In fact, doing just one thing — acting — for the last fifteen years felt far more stressful than managing the fifteen different things I’m doing today."
