MUMBAI: Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is hailed as the Queen Bee of South India, is reportedly the second highest-paid actress. The actress's growth in the last 12 years has been phenomenal and an inspiring tale for aspiring actresses. Samantha was last seen in Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise. She grooved to the famous Oo Antava song in director Sukumar's film.
She managed to make quite an impact with her extraordinary performance in Manoj Bajpayee-starrer The Family Man 2 and will also soon be venturing into international waters with Arrangements of Love.
But did you know that back in 2018, when the casting couch controversy took social media by storm after model and actress Sri Reddy accused a lot of biggies from the Telugu film industry on the sexual exploitation, Samantha was one of the stars who had spoken up about the practices in the South film industry.
Samantha reacted to it and said that how casting couch practice not only exists in films but in every industry. In a throwback interaction with Deccan Chronicle, the actress had opened up and said, “Not only in films, casting couch is there in every industry. I can’t comment about each and everyone’s virtue or qualities. There will be a few black sheep. But I am working in Tamil and Telugu industry for the last eight years. My first film was a hit and I didn’t have much of a struggle.”
The actress had further added that she honestly believes from the bottom of her heart that there are a lot of good things in the film industry. She had gone on to recount how she met a lot of helpful human beings in the industry.
Samantha is eagerly waiting for the release of her upcoming film, Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, directed by Vignesh Shivan.
Stay tuned for more news from the entertainment industry.
