Sameera Reddy candidly delved into the challenging journey of dealing with postpartum body comments in a recent interview on Janice Sequeira`s Youtube channel. Recounting her experiences, the actor revealed that after giving birth to her son Hans in 2015, she gained a significant amount of weight. During that time, even ordinary vegetable sellers were unsparing in their remarks, asking questions like, `Didi kya ho gaya aapko? (What happened to you?)`

In the video interview, Sameera opened up about the unkind comments that surrounded her postpartum body. She expressed, “I had a lot of issues with my first pregnancy... I had postpartum blues. I also put on a lot of weight... and people are so unforgiving. Even the bhaajiwala (vegetable seller) will say, `Didi kya ho gaya apko? (What happened to you?)` `Didi aap ho? (Is that really you?)` I still sometimes am amazed how Indians have this beautiful knack of saying, ‘Aap badal gaye ho na madam? (You have changed quite a bit).’”
