Earlier, Samantha faced criticism over an Instagram story where she suggested using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water for health purposes. Doctors quickly condemned this advice, warning that it could lead to serious health issues, including pneumonia.

Nayanthara's recent social media post also drew attention. Having joined Instagram this year, the actress shared her fondness for hibiscus flower tea, citing its health benefits such as boosting immunity and aiding in managing diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems. However, a doctor on X, known as The Liver Doctor, criticized Nayanthara's claims, accusing her of misleading her 8.7 million followers. Following this backlash, Nayanthara removed her post.

In response, Nayanthara shared a message on Instagram, quoting Mark Twain: "Don't argue with the less intelligent. That's how they bring you down to their level and defeat you." This post quickly went viral, with many speculating that it was a rebuttal to her critics.
