Sameera Reddy was advised to undergo surgery: She said- ‘I cannot tell how much pressure there was for breast surgery, but I did not listen to anyone’
Actress Sameera Reddy recently spoke about the beauty standards prevailing in the film industry. She told that when she was at the peak in Bollywood, people advised her to get surgery done. Sameera said that she ignored all these things and never got surgery done. I was pressured to have breast surgery Sameera said in an interview to Hindustan Times, ‘I cannot tell you how much pressure was put on me to get breast surgery when I was at the peak of my career. Many people used to say that Sameera, everyone is doing it, why not you? But I did not want this at all. I used to think that by doing this you are hiding some deficiency inside you, whereas this was not a deficiency, life is like this. I am not judging those who get botox or plastic surgery done but I did not want to get it done. Sameera is popular on social media After leaving films, Sameera started her second innings on social media. She shares videos related to self-love and body positivity. Sameera told that initially she also used social media filters to look beautiful but later she stopped doing so and due to this her popularity increased. Sameera said, ‘I decided that I will look the way I am. If my skin is bad then I will show it as bad, I had no problem in showing my increased weight because this is my truth. I wanted to look real which I could never do as an actor.’ Sameera said, ‘There has always been a curtain between the audience and us in films. We always want to show or tell what people like but it gives anxiety. I can look good despite being 45 years old. When you show your white hair, belly fat and stretch marks then people feel that there is someone who looks like us, then they feel good to connect with you and this also reduces my pressure. Sameera did her last film in 2012. She has worked in films like ‘No Entry’, ‘Race’ and ‘De Dana Dan’. Sameera, who was last seen in the film ‘Tej’ (2012), married businessman Akshay Varde in 2014 and is now busy raising two children.
