Actor Varun Dhawan has come out in support of Samantha Ruth Prabhu after a Twitter handle claimed that she lost her ‘charm and glow’ after her myositis diagnosis. Posting pictures of hers from the trailer launch of Shaakuntalam on Monday, the Twitter handle had captioned, “Feeling sad for Samantha. She lost all her charm and glow.
