The actor recently took time out to talk of embracing motherhood. In an interview with DNA, she revealed that she would like to take a break from work whenever she decides to have a child. “When I have a child, that child is going to be my universe. I had the greatest respect for working mothers. My childhood was not very rosy. For all adults, who haven’t had a very rosy childhood, the first thing they will tell you is that they want to give their child everything that they did not have. That’s something that has stuck with me. So, I think the first few years after I have a child, I would not be anywhere. That child will be everything for me (sic),” Samantha said.

Samantha, Naga Chaitanya fell in love in 2015 and tied the knot in 2017.

Samantha will be next seen in the Telugu remake of 96, which features Sharwanand. The actress has not given her nod for any other project.
