Reflecting on the onset of her illness, Samantha recalled a moment of relief she experienced before the diagnosis. "I remember specifically the year before I had this problem, it was an extremely difficult year for me," she shared.
Samantha detailed, "I specifically remember the day that I think my friend/partner/manager Himank, and I were traveling back from Mumbai. And this was in June of the year before last, and I remember telling him that finally I feel calm. I haven’t felt a little relaxed and a little calm in a very, very long time. And I finally feel like I can breathe and I can go to sleep, and I can now wake up and focus on my work and be the best that I can be at work.”
