The duo share an adorable bond of friendship, even off the camera, and it was seen at IIFA Utsavam. Their fun banter had no end when the, Yashodha actress received the Woman of the Year award, which left everyone stunned. Rana had hosted the show, and he was in a mood to crack a joke on the actress. Samantha warned him not to do comedy, as she had just given an emotional speech.
As seen in the clip, Samantha agreed to participate in the joke session. After receiving the award Rana cracked a personal joke on the actress. For the uninitiated, he is the cousin of Naga Chaitanya, who was earlier married to Samantha, and that is how the actress had become, Rana's sister-in-law. However, Naga and Samantha had separated in 2021. Daggubati in a sporting way, had remarked:

The Family Man actress had laughed and lightly said that he was doing self-trolling, as seen in the video. The Baahubali star, then pointed at the actress that she has not been doing many Telugu movies. Samantha then cheekily said that if she does a movie, it should be like Narasimha Naidu, not Rana Naidu. Rana, immediately corrected his sister and said that Rana Naidu was not a movie but a show.
In an interview, the actor gave his opinion on Samantha's fight with Myositis, which is an autoimmune disorder that she had revealed openly. It was in November 2022, when Samantha opened up about her health condition. In a conversation with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Rana said he was in touch with Samantha and had been taking her health update. In his words:
“Everyone has hardships in their life. Everyone will have something that is life-changing, that’s life-threatening. It’s about how you deal with it, and when you want to speak about it. It’s important that sad things happen but the beauty is to get back up and keep going."
Samantha had posted a picture of herself from the hospital in 2022, where a drip was attached to her hand. She had mentioned that she was hoping to share about her health condition, but it had gone into remission. The 37-year-old actress had revealed that her doctors were hopeful of her recovery, but the road to recovery would take a bit longer, however, she was hopeful about the same. She knew that tough times did not last and that it was not important to always put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that she was struggling with. She has her set of good and bad days, physically and emotionally.
