Actress Samantha, who was recently seen in the mythological drama 'Shaakuntalam', is one of the highest paid actresses in South India. With a slew of blockbusters in her name, the actress has a huge fan base across the country and is also considered a superstar by many. Now, a fan has taken his admiration for the actress to the next level and has built a temple in her name.

Tenali Sandeep, a fan from Baptla in Andhra Pradesh built the temple in his residence. The temple was inaugurated on the actress's birthday on April 28. The fan also unveiled a statue of the actress, dressed in a green blouse and a red sari with a thick golden border, in front of the temple.

Tenali, reportedly, had plans to build a bigger temple for the actress, though it didn't become a reality due to his limited budget.

He also plans to distribute food to the poor as he considers Samantha, not only a good actress but also a humanitarian as she has financially supported many children with heart ailments over the years.
