Samantha recently completed 15 years of her journey in the industry and speaking to scribes, she spoke about her cringe performances. She said "It was stressful because I tied my self-worth to the success of each film. And success was never in my control. Every Friday became a source of anxiety because my confidence depended on box office numbers. That was a recipe for disaster. Now, I have a clearer perspective and am much kinder to myself.”
She revealed “The performances that make me cringe are the ones where I was struggling to fit in. Initially, most of the glamorous roles weren’t really me. I was trying to fit in, trying to be like my fantastic peers. I tried to look like them, act like them, dance like them. When I watch those performances now, I find them absolutely ridiculous,”
Samantha made her entry into Tollywood with the film Ye Maya Chesave and starred in blockbusters like Brindavanam, Dookudu, Attarintiki Daredi, S/O Satyamurthy and more.
She is now starring in web series titled Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom with Raj & DK and a film titled Maa Inti Bangaram, which she's also producing.
