The tweet caught Samantha's attention, and the actress gave a befitting reply to the entertainment portal's Twitter page.

She wrote, 'I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did...And here's some love from me to add to your glow."

Samantha's fans came out in support of her.

Slamming the post, a fan wrote, "As someone who has an autoimmune disease and went through heaps of experimental treatments including steroids, with all the effects of illness & treatment that showed up visibly, these kinds of condescending remarks can feel brutal. I feel sorry for those that can't see the quiet and remarkable strength of a person battling a chronic illness. Only way is to accept it as well meaning ignorance."

Samantha's battle with myositis

Last November, Samantha took to Instagram to reveal that she has been suffering from a rare auto-immune disease called Myositis.

She took to her Instagram handle and shared a picture of herself, with an IV drip connected to her wrist.

"I have had good days and bad days... physically and emotionally... and even when it feels like I can't handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes," she had stated in her social media post.

She captioned the picture, "Your response to the 'Yashodha' trailer was overwhelming. It is this love and connection that I share with all of you, that gives me the strength to deal with the seemingly unending challenges that life throws at me. A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped. I am slowly realising that we don't always need to put up a strong front."

She further wrote, "Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days.... physically and emotionally.... and even when it feels like I can't handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. I love you.. THIS TOO SHALL PASS."

During the promotions of her film 'Yashoda', she had shared, " As I said in my post (Instagram), some days are good, some are bad. Some days, I felt that even taking one more step would be difficult. But when I look back, I wonder I've gone through so much and have come this far. I'm here to fight."

She will soon commence shooting for the Indian adaptation of Citadel, co-starring Varun Dhawan.
