Samantha aces ‘Don’t Rush’ Challenge: Draws inspiration from Vicky Kaushal

Samantha Akkineni is the latest celebrity to steal the show in Don’t Rush Challenge. The viral social media trend which gained massive popularity during the 2020 lockdown requires each person in the compilation to shoot their dance to Don’t Rush song by Young T & Bugsey separately, and combine all into one clip at the end. Draped in a casual crop top and high-waist workout joggings, the South bombshell can be seen shaking her belly to the peppy number alongside her close friend Anusha Swamy, a pole dance choreographer and makeup artist. Starting off the video with super-flexible dance moves, the duo can be seen performing push ups towards the end.

Sharing the clip on her Instagram handle, Samantha thanked Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal for inspiring her to go for the same. She heaped praise on her dancing partner Anusha and asked netizens to show some love towards her. The gorgeous gal captioned the post as “@vickykaushal09 made us do it !! 😁 A huge shoutout to this incredible woman @anushaswamy 🔥🔥.. give me one year l’ll get to where you are 🤪😊.. Show her some love❤️ #dontrushchallenge”

The dance clip went instantly viral on the photo-sharing platform and within no time, celebs like Upasana, Rakul Preet Singh, Lavanya Tripathi, Dia Mirza, Vimala Raman, Chinmayi, Ramya and Hollywood actress Samantha Steffen applauded the effort.

Recently, Samantha nailed the “I’m So Pretty Challenge” by slipping into a white bathrobe for the initial seconds and then transforming into a beautiful boss lady. Draped in a blouson crop top and denim jeans, she looked jaw-dropping and upped the glamour quotient with her super-cute expressions.

Gearing up for the release of her maiden digital show ‘The Family Man’ (Season 2), Sam is occupied with the Tamil film ‘Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal’ starring Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara. She is also headlining Gunasekhar’s upcoming mythological drama ‘Shakuntalam’ which is based on Kalidasa’s eponymous work. ‘Sufiyum Sujatayum’ fame Dev Mohan has been confirmed to essay the role of Dushyant in the mythological drama.
