Varun Dhawan has come out in support of Samantha Ruth Prabhu who was targeted by trolls after her recent appearance at the trailer launch event of Shaakuntalam. The movie starring the Telugu actress in the titular role is a period drama and has been long awaited by the fans. Samantha revealed in October last year that she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. It is a rare condition that can cause muscles to become weak, tired and painful, and is usually caused by a problem with the immune system, where it mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. When she attended the Shaakuntalam trailer launch, her appearance was attacked.
