Samantha in 2015

Samantha Akkineni is an Indian actress and model who works primarily in Telugu and Tamil films. She made her acting debut in 2010 with Gautham Menon's Telugu romance film Ye Maaya Chesave and its simultaneously-filmed Tamil version Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. The former fetched her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut – South and a Nandi Award.[1][2][3] Samantha subsequently won both the Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actress and the Filmfare Award for Best Telugu Actress for her performances in the 2012 films Neethaane En Ponvasantham and Eega, respectively. Since then, she has primarily opted to appear in the leading female roles in hero-centric films such as the Telugu films Dookudu (2011), Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu (2012), Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (2013) and Attarintiki Daredi (2013) and the Tamil film Kaththi (2014). This film, along with Theri, 24 (both 2016) and Mersal (2017) earned her nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actress. Her work in the Telugu film A Aa (2016) won her a fourth Filmfare Award.[4][5]
