Sameera Reddy reveals how her Bollywood friends cut off contact with her after she disappeared from limelight

Bollywood-South Indian actress and second-time mommy-to-be Sameera Reddy is currently in the news as she is all set to deliver her second baby this year in July. Sameera and her hubby, Akshai Varde became parents to a son, Hans Varde on May 24, 2015, and are all set to embrace parenthood yet again. The actress is quite active on social media since last few months and has been sharing her pregnancy photos. However, the pregnancy phase during her first child was a difficult one as she gained a lot of weight. 

Talking about the same, Sameera said, "When I was pregnant for the first time, I could not believe how I gained so much weight. I was 102 from 70 kg because there were changes in hormones, medicines and injections." The actress further spoke about how she imagined a very glamorous pregnancy like show in Bollywood films. However, her life turned upside down and she cancelled her plans to come back to movies again." 

Sameera in an exclusive conversation with Hindi Rush spoke her heart out about how no one from the film industry bothered to get in touch with her after she disappeared from the limelight. The Race actress said, "everyone vanished, nobody was there. But its fine as our industry is such and I think even I moved away from them. I was scared of self but nobody asked me why I left the film industry and what has happened to me." 

I touched 102 Kgs in May 2015, the month Hans was born and I’m not scared to admit it . It took me to the deepest darkest places in my head. My confidence shattered . And I couldn’t lose the weight for a year after because I was too scared to even step out . I disappeared because I didn’t have the strength to be judged by the world after all the years of being glam and fit on screen . But the beautiful part is that you can only hit your lowest low to know you can absolutely climb out of that hole . It’s a fight . A hard one . Took me 2 years more to lose the weight and to step out and face the world again but I wish I had the courage then. I did it naturally with no fad diets , no easy way out. Only with dedicated workout, yoga, pilates and strength training . It’s important for me to post this now because I need women to know the struggle is real . The mood swings , hormonal changes and losing your body shape can mess with your mind. It’s a superficial world and people can be hurtful if you don’t keep up . But the key is to be fearless. Only you can get out of that rut. It’s yours to change. Be brave . You can move mountains if you just will it . . . Special thanks to the best workout crew who also gave me the physical & emotional strength to get fit again @yogabypramila @adishroff @ivan_ultimatefitness @nyelakapadia & Kaizen Motafram my Pilates guru! love you guys . . #bollywood #mom #keepingitreal #weightlosstransformation #fattofit #pilates #postpregnancy #yoga #bodytransformation #fitness #fitnessmotivation #weightlossjourney #pregnancy #fitness
