Samantha's Instagram story contains a short video of a documentary that she was watching on television, which shows the rapidly reducing numbers of fishes in the oceans.

The documentary that made Samantha Akkineni "feel sick"

Samantha Akkineni is known to never shy away from expressing her views on social media. She often shares glimpses of what she is up to on Instagram and even interacts with her fans via her Instagram stories. The recent story shared by her shows a short clip from the recent Netflix's Seaspiracy documentary, which explains precisely how much the percentage of Pacific Bluefin Tuna fish has gone down over the years, having reduced from 90 per cent to less than 3 per cent at the moment. The actor then expressed her sadness in just a couple of lines over this unfortunate fact.
