The actress said that she wants to take her followers with her journey of gardening. She remembers how people rushed to supermarkets like herself and her husband during the first lockdown announcement to buy groceries to stock without knowing how long the lockdown is going to last. “It was a scary time for all of us.It really boiled down to two important things – Food and Health of yourself and your loved ones. It really rattled me because we have been really taking food for granted” said Samantha mentioning the way we order foods online and get it delivered within minutes of time by using online Apps. “Swipe up in an app and food is delivered to you home. We never valued food” the actress added.

After taking food for granted all my life, this pandemic lockdown taught me a new way of eating and a new hobby. I learnt to grow my own food in my own home! A shaking experience but I am glad this happened. #growwithme
