, It’s an eight-year-long friendship. I married my best friend (Naga Chaitanya).
Realising just how hard it is to get a meaningful role for a heroine in the south. I haven’t signed as many films as I’d like to because there are no good roles.
I am done with the clichéd heroine roles. I can’t go to work without a challenge. I want to do films that drive me, films in which I am a part of the main plot.

About this person
Born 28 April 1987, Samantha modeled briefly while studying commerce before her 2010 debut in the Telugu romance Ye Maaya Chesave won her Best Female Debut at Filmfare Awards South. In 2012 she became the second actress to win both Best Actress - Tamil and Best Actress - Telugu in the same year, for Neethaane En Ponvasantham and Eega. The next stretch saw her anchor major commercial hits - Dookudu (2011), Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (2012), Attarintiki Daredi (2013), Kaththi (2014), Theri (2016), Mersal (2017), Rangasthalam (2018) - before her performance in A Aa (2016) claimed a fourth Filmfare and roles in Mahanati (2018), Super Deluxe (2019), and Majili (2019) deepened the range. The 2021 Amazon Prime thriller series The Family Man brought a Filmfare OTT Award and a wider audience. After two misfires she returned with the action series Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024), then turned producer with the horror comedy Subham (2025) and Maa Inti Bangaaram (2026), her highest solo grosser.
