With Tamannaah Bhatia completing 15 years in the film industry, her star colleague and friend Samantha Akkineni has taken to Twitter to pay a heartfelt tribute to the 'Sye Raa' actress.

"15 glorious years ... one of the most beautiful faces ️..I know @tamannaahspeaks to be amongst the most hardworking and genuine .. she’s a firecracker on screen and you just can’t take your eyes off of her ... congratulations darling .. here is the common dp #15YearsOfTAMANNAAH," the 'Majili' and 'Jaanu' actress said.

Acknowledging the appreciation, Tamannaah wrote, "Samantha, you’ve been such an inspiration to me with everything you do! From the way you’ve conducted your career to selecting your characters and playing them with such conviction. Can’t thank you enough for doing this for me!" This prompted Sam to say, "We belong to mutual admiration club."

Tamannaah debuted with a flop in Telugu back in 2005. Her first big outing was Sekhar Kammula's 'Happy Days', which came two years later.
