After Samantha took a break from social media, rumours started doing rounds that the actress is suffering from a rare skin condition and has traveled to the US for her treatment. Rubbishing the speculations, her manager told Indian Express that the actress is doing fine and the reports are “just gossip”, but didn’t say anything about the star’s purpose behind her trip abroad.
