Varun Dhawan recently opened up about the challenging moments he witnessed on the set of Citadel: Honey Bunny, where Samantha Ruth Prabhu battled a medical condition. He described seeing her experience painful cramps, requiring an oxygen tank between shots, and even collapsing during filming.
Samantha described herself as a stubborn person, explaining how she has always made her own decisions and learned from her mistakes. She revealed that, at one point, she was completely convinced that she wouldn’t be able to leave her house or appear in front of the camera due to her condition, feeling isolated with no one to guide her.
The actress shared how her Citadel team helped her overcome her doubts and fears. For the first time in her life, she trusted someone else with her well-being and decided to follow their belief in her ability, despite her struggles. She expressed that this experience was unique for her, as she had always made decisions independently.
Samantha expressed immense gratitude for her Citadel team, who supported her throughout her challenging time. She acknowledged that their unwavering belief in her gave her the strength to keep going, motivating her to heal and return to work. Without their support, she feels it would have taken much longer to regain her health.
Varun shared his concern for Samantha while shooting Citadel. He recalled a moment when Samantha, feeling unwell, closed her eyes and mentioned it was “one of those days.” After two hours of shooting, she had to take oxygen, which deeply worried him. He expressed how difficult it was to see her go through this.
The actor praised Samantha’s dedication, noting that despite her health struggles, she continued shooting. He highlighted how she could have taken the day off but chose to push through, even while taking oxygen on set. Her commitment was something that truly impressed him.
Varun recalled another alarming incident while filming in Serbia, where Samantha collapsed after running during a shoot. Concerned for her well-being, Varun immediately tried to stop the shoot, but the crew reassured him that she would be fine. He admitted feeling helpless and angry seeing her in such a condition.
Raj shared a particularly tough moment during filming when Samantha was cramping and in tears while walking up the steps. Despite her condition, she insisted on completing a few shots. However, after they started filming, she collapsed, and Raj had to call cut. Samantha was then carried away by her support team.
Varun shared a powerful moment when he saw Samantha break down on set, describing how her determination despite her pain inspired everyone around her. He mentioned feeling anger and helplessness but noted how her strength and positivity gave him a new perspective, making him realize that his own problems were insignificant compared to what she was enduring.
