From `Sexy Sam` to `Messy Mama`, Sameera Reddy has definitely come a long way. Today, a mother of two, Sameera uses social media to champion body positivity and openly addresses topics that people on social media usually shy away from. From flaunting her flabs to showing her grey hair, Sameera`s social media handle is a welcome space from the otherwise pretentious virtual world.
Talking to mid-day.com about how her self-acceptance journey, she said, “I think it began when I didn`t have anybody who was guiding me though one of my major breakdowns, which happened postpartum. I remember slipping into a very bad, dark space about my body, my career, about being perceived as successful or how fast I could bounce back after motherhood and I cracked. I actually hid inside the house and I didn`t talk to anybody. I cut off from people and I didn`t have the right mindset and I wasn`t getting the right messages from social media and society at that time."
