Samantha Ruth Prabhu
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'.

Watch: Vlogger Tries Indian Sweets For The First Time, His Reaction Says It All

A video doing the rounds on Instagram shows a foreign vlogger trying Indian sweets for the first time. While there are several food videos of people tasting Indian dishes for the first time, this one stands out for the vlogger's expressive reactions and quirky descriptions of each sweet. The vlogger (@tariqokay) recognises the name gulab jamun, which is where he begins his tasting session of the assorted Indian sweets box. After the gulab jamun, he picks up a green-coloured petha, looking visibly confused, and refers to it as a "uranium-looking nuclear reactor piece". However, he appreciates its "interesting texture". Next comes jalebi, which the vlogger amusingly calls the "Indian pretzel". After tasting it, he says, "It had the best texture by far." He then samples burfi. Although he is unfamiliar with the name, he guesses it to be a type of fudge with a caramel aroma. Calling it "fudgy pudgy", he seems thoroughly impressed and declares it "magnificent". Enjoying the flavours, he even breaks into song, saying, "That's the way, maahi ve." Finally, the vlogger tries what appears to be dhodha burfi. Jokingly, he calls it a "brownie/cake hybrid endangered species". Just one bite is enough for him to call it "the one" - scrumptious and a solid 9.5/10. "Indian desserts are dangerously good," the vlogger concludes, adding in the caption, "So this is what I've been missing out on, huh?" Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by @tariqokay The Indian sweets taste test has won over viewers on Instagram, especially from India. One viewer described each sweet in detail, explaining the names and ingredients for the vlogger. He added, "Bro, your food reviews are so good. Make some more Indian food reviews. And if you need any suggestions, let me know. I am happy to help you." A food lover joked, "Me watching him eating in the wrong order... Giving me very bad anxiety." Another suggested, "Please try ras malai, make sure it's cold when you eat it. Also, try cham cham - make sure it has a creamy filling." Craving Indian sweets after watching this?
