Samantha received the wrath of netizens inspite of not doing anything. This happened because of the photograph, which have close resemblance to that of her, in circulation. It gave an impression as if the 'Majili' Actress appeared more like a transgender.
Actually, The picture is that of Malayalam Actress Rajshri Naidu who essayed the role of Heroine's Aunt in 'Nenu Sailaja' (2016). This Character Artiste was mostly seen in saree-clad avatars on the screen and hence not many could spot the slight resemblance. Change in the dressing and Black Goggles made her look more like Samantha. It didn't take much time for the backlash as not many wished to see the Top League Actress in such fashion.
