Samantha has had a good year after her marriage to long time beau Naga Chaitanya with her films 'Rangasthalam', 'Mahanati' and 'Irumbu Thirai' becoming huge hits.  During the promotions of 'Abhimanyadu' the Telugu version of the Vishal film, Sam in a press interaction has revealed how she narrowly escaped from a dangerous love.

Samantha said that like Savithri in 'Mahanati' who marries a married man Gemini Ganesan and sufferred in her life she too blindly believed someone with whom she was very much in love.  But fortunately she realised what kind of a person he was and walked out of the releationship.  Sam stated that otherwise her life would have ended like Savithri and it is her luck and "Punniyam" that she got Naga Chaitanya in her life.
