Samantha, as we all know, is the darling of South Indian cinema. She is beautiful inside-out and she can absolutely be comfortable in any room. The fearless beauty recently took to social media to celebrate her 7th anniversary of not just her Telugu movie ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ but also her debut into movies. The bright and educated lady that she is, Samantha’s note left many of us in tears. In her post, she said, “It’s been 7 years and I am in a talking mood. So like any rags to riches story, I have had my fair share of hardships, insecurities, failure, rejection, pain, sadness, success, fame and wealth. But that does not mean I became happier as I became more successful.

“Oh, happiness isn’t so simple.It took me only 7 years (pun intended) to understand how to crack the art of normalcy.. understand that ‘if I don’t shoot every single day of the year I am not a failure,’ that people who abuse me on social media spend less time thinking about me than I about them,”that I will not have a heart attack and die over time there is a problem,’ ‘that there always is a next time,’ and most importantly, `your story is a success only when you make other people a part of it.’ I guess what I am trying to say is… what I have learned in this time is that all the fame, all the wealth, and all the success does not necessarily mean all the happiness.”

“The greatest blessing cinema has offered me has been the people it has introduced into my life. People who have influenced my entire being. And it gave me your love, love that I hung onto dearly and desperately in hard times… and fondly and gratefully on sunny days. Thank you so very much. Will keep loving you all back all my life. #7yearsofYMC,” Samantha concluded.
