Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who swayed the nation with her moves in 'Oo Antava', is one of the most popular actors in India. Her upcoming Pan-Indian mythological romantic drama, 'Shaakuntalam' is all set to hit the big screens on April 14. In an interview, Samantha took a trip down memory lane to reveal that she and her colleagues down south were disrespected in the past over garments from designers.

The 35-year-old actress spoke about how far regional films have come in recent years, with movies in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. Samantha said, "It's absolutely wonderful. There were times when we south actors couldn't source garments from designers because they were like, 'Who are you? South actor? What south?'"
