The brilliant actress recently starred alongside Varun Dhawan in the Hindi film adaptation of Tamil hit Theri, originally starring Vijay and Samantha.

A Sweet Gesture by Samantha

In her conversation, Keerthy shared how Varun Dhawan confirmed Samantha's recommendation, leaving her deeply touched by the thoughtful gesture. "She probably had me in mind when this was happening; that's what Varun also told me. I can't be grateful enough for that," Keerthy stated. Samantha's belief that Keerthy could bring the character to life made all the difference, marking an important milestone in her career.

Keerthy said that she was thrilled and scared at the same time when she was asked to do the role as Samantha's performance in Theri is one of her favorite performances. She said, "This is one of the characters I really love, and I am so glad I got to play it in Hindi."

Samantha's Support Through Social Media

Keerthy recalled a heartwarming moment where Samantha posted the trailer of Baby John on Instagram and specifically tagged Keerthy. "That gesture was really sweet. I couldn't have asked for a better debut," Keerthy said. The incessant support from Samantha had further cemented their relationship, epitomizing camaraderie in the industry.
