Talk of the Town: Samantha's clever yet subtle counter to a producer who claims her career is over

HYDERABAD: Samantha Ruth Prabhu had a subtle yet powerful response to Tollywood producer Chittibabu's disparaging remarks about her. Chittibabu had claimed that Samantha's days as a "star heroine" were over and that she resorted to cheap tricks to promote her films.

In a recent interview, producer Chittibabu had criticized Samantha, claiming that her career as a "star heroine" was finished and that she used sentiments and sympathy to promote her films. He also accused her of taking up offers out of necessity after losing her star status.

In a clever retort, Samantha took to her Instagram story and shared a screenshot of a Google search for "how do people have hair growing from ears." The search results revealed that increased testosterone could be a cause.

Samantha captioned the screenshot with "#IYKYK," a clear indication to those in the know that she was referring to Chittibabu's own visible hair growth near his ears.

However, Samantha's clever response to Chittibabu's comments has caught immense attention on the internet, showcasing her ability to handle criticism with wit and grace.

Samantha's last film was Shakuntalam, directed by Gunasekhar.
