Actress Samantha began her acting career with a small role Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, which was released before 10 years, and she had also played the lead in its Telugu version Ye Maaya Chesave, which had her paired with her husband Naga Chaitanya for the first time.

As the movie celebrated its 10th anniversary yesterday, singer Chinmayi, who has dubbed for Samantha in many movies starting from Ye Maaya Chesave, praised Samantha on completing 10 years in films. She tweeted "#10YearsOfSamantha :):):) It’s been an absolute honour being her voice. I have said this before and I say it again. She started Pratyusha very early in her career paying it forward to those in need. What I admire most about her is her grit and tenacity. Killing it as mainstream actor especially when many people on social media take it upon themselves to tweet to her entire family to ‘control’ her; to make her ‘behave like a married woman’, of course, only by quitting work as an actor (especially when her family is cool) is ".

Chinmayi also tweeted "A lot of Indians have a tendency to want to retire women actors as female leads as soon as they get married. Of course the same rule doesn’t apply to men. What is a ‘profession’ for men is ‘how can you still work?!’ For women, especially when they are actors.For Samantha to work AND thrive in a society which tells her everyday that she cannot, should not work in her chosen profession is an achievement.I hope women can learn from her tenacity & I know she works extremely hard. Here’s wishing her only joy and success."
