Samantha Akkineni has established herself as one of the most popular stars in the south. Right from 24 to Eega to Oh Baby to The Family Man, her choice of characters and projects continue to fascinate both critics and the audiences. However, even she has had to face her share of trolls on social media.

 

In an Instagram live chat with fans recently, she talked about the trolls that she has dealt with in her career, how they used to affect her and give her sleepless nights; and their impact on her now. She said, “Strangely, they don't affect me anymore... they used to give me sleepless nights but now, I laugh actually and that actually shows how much I have grown as a person.”

 

Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, who tied the knot on October 6, 2017, had the most adorable anniversary wish for each other last year. Samantha's anniversary wish for husband Chaitanya had a black and white picture with an emotional note.

 

The happily married couple clicked the photo at Rana Dagubatti's wedding ceremony, which happened during the lockdown period.

For the uninitiated, the 33-year-old actress has a solid fan following not only in India, but globally too and has given us two very memorable films - 24 and Eega, both brimming with imaginative ideas and smashing entertainment. Samantha has come a long way and carved her own niche in Indian cinema. Her work in the Telugu and Tamil industry continues to resonate with audiences and critics alike.
