Mumbai: It has been 15 years since Samantha Ruth Prabhu stepped into the film industry with the 2010 movie Ye Maaya Chesave. Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the romantic drama featured her alongside her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya, marking a significant turning point in her career.
In a recent interview with leading news portal, Samantha shared that she vividly remembers “every single shot” from the film, reflecting on the journey that shaped her career.
Speaking about the passage of time, Samantha expressed that some moments from the last 15 years feel like they happened “forever ago,” while others remain a blur. The actress admitted that her performances in certain films were subpar due to a lack of guidance and her unfamiliarity with the Tamil language at the time.
Samantha’s first film was Moscowin Kavery alongside Rahul Ravindran, which was filmed before Ye Maaya Chesave but released later. However, the actress stated that Ye Maaya Chesave holds a special place in her heart as she remembers every detail from the shoot.
“The first scene I shot was the gate meeting with Karthik. I recall every little detail because working with Gautham Menon was a fantastic experience. He knew exactly what he wanted and how the character should come across,” Samantha shared.
On the work front, Samantha recently garnered praise for her performance in the web series Citadel: Honey Bunny. She is currently working on a period drama series titled Rakht Bramhand, opposite Aditya Roy Kapur. Speculations are also rife about her next film, following a recent Instagram post with director Nandini Reddy, though no official announcements have been made.
On the personal front, after her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, the actor is now reportedly married to actress Sobhita Dhulipala.
