recently got emotional as she addressed the Telugu diaspora in the United States during the prestigious Telugu Association of North America (TANA) 2025 celebrations. The actress broke down in tears while expressing her deep gratitude to the Telugu community, who have supported her through the ups and downs of her 15-year-long career.
In a video shared by Gulte, during her speech, Samantha confessed that it took her far too long to stand on that stage and thank the people who accepted her from her very first film. "You made me your own from my very first film," she said, bowing her head to the audience. "I can't believe it has taken me 15 years to come here and say thank you."
The 'Kushi' actress acknowledged how the Telugu community, especially in North America, stood by her even through the most trying times. "Every step I took, every mistake I made, you still didn't let go of me," she said tearfully. "Wherever I go, whatever I do, and whichever industry I work in, the first thought that comes to my mind before making any decision is: Will the Telugu audience be proud of me or not?"
The actress also mentioned that the Telugu audience gave her not just a successful career but something much more personal and meaningful.
"You gave me an identity, a home, and a sense of belonging. I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart," she said.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu made her debut as a producer with the horror comedy film 'Subham'. Directed by Praveen Kandregula, the film features new talent and has garnered positive reception, particularly among Telugu audiences abroad.
She is currently working on her upcoming series, 'Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom' created by Raj & DK and directed by Rahi Anil Barve. She is also occupied with her next film, 'Bangaram'.
