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).’”
