After her breakup with actor Naga Chaitanya, Samantha decided to re-do her bridal attire, a move that sparked eyebrows and admiration.
In an interview, speaking with Pinkvilla, Bajaj revealed why this was more than your typical wardrobe transformation. “That piece was more than clothing it was a memory stitched into something new,” she revealed. The aim was not to destroy the past but to honor it, reclaim it, and re-fashion it into something that was driven by her.
For Bajaj, Samantha’s decision was symbolic. Black represented strength, healing, and new life. “Samantha needed to reclaim something very personal, and I felt privileged to be a part of it,” Bajaj went on. The rebuilding was undertaken with careful consideration, maintaining the emotional integrity of the gown while presenting a strong, new vision of the past.
This re-invention struck a chord with so many, especially women who see clothing as an extension of personal stories. When public personas are chastised for private decisions, Samantha’s decision was a breath of fresh air and seemed intimate. Instead of shedding her past, she chose to reclaim itagilely and regally.
