South sensation Samantha Ruth Prabhu is facing a low phase professionally these days. Her last two pan-India releases- Yashoda and Shakuntalam have fallen flat on the box office with negative reviews from critics. But Samantha is trying her best to keep up with her acting career.

Recently, the actress became a part of the global premiere of American web series ‘Citadel’. During the event, Samantha interacted with the press. However, the South beauty’s tone of conversation raised eyebrows of netizens and Samantha became a victim of trolls.

Netizens were shocked to hear Samantha’s accent

During the premiere, the actress talked about playing the lead in the spy thriller. She turned heads in a black outfit for the evening. Meanwhile, a clip of Samantha talking to the media about her role in ‘Citadel’ India is going viral on social media. The trolls are slamming her for her fake accent in the video.

In the video, Samantha Ruth Prabhu who has been suffering from a chronic illness for a long time, can be seen talking about being a part of the Indian version of ‘Citadel’ along with Varun Dhawan. She looks extremely excited to be a part of such a huge universe.
