'Race' actress Sameera Reddy had recently in a long interview talking about her current pregnancy and the previous one when she carried her now-3 yr old son Hans in her belly, opened up on how she felt shattered over weight gain. She said she couldn't recognize her then. The actress who's currently pregnant with her second child, has now shared a picture of herself from June 2015, a month after delivering her first child. She put it up in a collage comparing it with how she looks now with a baby bump. She wrote a powerful message along with the pictures reaching out to other women who may have or are currently going through the same depressing phase.

"From being that 'sexy Sam', I went to this. I put on 32 kg up and couldn't recognise myself. I was a complete mess"  -She had said during the interview she gave to IANS last week over postpartum depression she went through in 4 years ago.

And finally today on Tuesday, the actress shares a strong message, beginning it with- "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 ."


And then she talked about how things took a turn in her life, and how she managed to loose all that extra baby weight, getting back in shape and regaining her lost confidence.

Her message further reads- "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 . [heart emoji]."

She also thanked her workout crew who gave her emotional and physical strenght, writing- "Special thanks to the best workout crew who also gave me the physical & emotional strength to get fit again @yogabypramila @adishroff  @nyelakapadia 

@ivan_ultimatefitness & Kaizen Motafram my Pilates guru! love you guys ❤️."

And here's the picture she put up along with the message above.


Sameera had tied the knot with businessman Akshai Varde in 2014 and the couple welcomed their first child, a boy they named Hans, in the following year in 2015.

After 4 years of her first delivery, Sameera is set to be mommy again and her Instagram profile proves, she's taking it very positively this time around and shares some gorgeous baby bump pictures documenting her second pregnancy on social media.
