Breaking: Samantha's Father No More

In a breaking news, it has been established that star actress Samantha's father Joseph Prabhu has sadly passed away due to an underlying medical condition. He has reportedly breathed his last a few minutes back.

Taking to Instagram, Samantha wrote "Until we meet again, Dad" and she shared a heartbreak symbol to end the note. This pretty much confirms that Samantha's dad is no longer with us.

Joseph had Telugu roots as he is a Telugu Anglo-Indian and he reportedly shared a very close rapport with Sam. He was a strong source of inspiration and compassion for Samantha, it seems.

The actress is now mourning the passing of her father and we sincerely extend our deepest sympathies and family members and friends at these dark and challenging hours.

Samantha was very close to her parents and this must surely be a news that is hard to digest for her. We pray for strength and courage to sustain this situation.
