Samantha in 2015

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is an Indian actress who has appeared predominantly in Telugu and Tamil films. She made her acting debut with a small role in Gautham Vasudev Menon's Tamil film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. She had her first lead role in 2010 with Gautham Vasudev Menon's Telugu romance film Ye Maaya Chesave.[a] The film earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut – South and a Nandi Award.[1][2][3] In 2012, Samantha featured in live action Telugu-Tamil bilingual project Eega (Naan Ee). The film received positive reviews in both Telugu and Tamil languages and it was one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of the year, earning ₹1.15 billion globally. Her performance as a micro artist who runs a NGO and takes revenge for the murder of her lover earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Telugu Actress. In the same year, she appeared in the trilingual romantic drama Neethaane En Ponvasantham (2012). The film earned her praise from critics, and Samantha won her first Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actress. 2012 became her most prolific award-winning year and she secured further recognition for Best Actress at the Vijay Awards, Santosham Film Awards and the CineMAA Awards. Popular playback singer and dubbing artist Chinmayi Sripada has been the voice of Samantha in most of her Telugu language films right from her debut in Ye Maaya Chesave. She has also dubbed for Samantha in a few of her Tamil and Hindi language films.

Between 2013 and 2015, Samantha has primarily opted to appear in the leading female roles in hero-centric Tamil as well as Telugu films, such as the Tamil-language action-drama Anjaan (2014), social action Kaththi (2014), and action-drama 10 Endrathukulla (2014). This film, along with Theri, and 24 (both 2016), and Mersal (2017) earned her nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actress. Other film appearances include the comedy family drama Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (2013), action drama Attarintiki Daredi (2013), fantasy-drama Manam (2014), and action comedy Rabhasa (2014). Her work in the Telugu film A Aa (2016) won her a fourth Filmfare Award.[4][5] Samantha starred in the second season of the Amazon Prime Video series The Family Man in 2021.
