Hindustan Times quoted her saying:
“Your emotional investment into a personal crisis has overwhelmed me. Thank you all for showing deep empathy, concern and for defending me against false rumours and stories that are being spread. They say I had affairs, never wanted children, that I am an opportunist and now that I have had abortions.”

She expressed how a divorce, in general, is painful for a couple to go through and that she is being attacked relentlessly.
“A divorce in itself is an extremely painful process. Let alone allowing me the time to heal. This attack on me personally, has been relentless. But I promise you this, I will never allow this or anything else they say, break me.”

More power to you Samantha! We wish you strength in these tough times.
