Samantha is one of the highest-paid actresses down South. The pay package of our Golden Leg is somewhere between Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 crore at present.
In a recent interview, Samantha claimed she hasn't forgotten the days when she had to work hard even to earn Rs 1,000. 'From the age of 14, I developed the habit of earning money to bear my expenses. I have done several part-time jobs. There were times, I used to sprinkle 'Panner' on the guests during weddings. That hard-earned money used to give me immense satisfaction. I wasn't able to get that kick even though I earn much more now,' she told.
Usually, Film Celebs doesn't like to reveal about their struggling days. In contrast, Samantha herself shared the path she has travelled before becoming a star overnight with 'Yem Maya Chesave'.
'Janatha Garage' will be the next release of Samantha. Its her fourth flick opposite Jr NTR. They have done films such as Brundavanam, Ramayya Vastavayya and Rabhasa in the past.
