Sameera Reddy, at 46, has shifted her focus from being labeled 'sexy' to embracing her authentic self, which she describes as a 'real' woman. In a candid conversation with NDTV, she shared how the pressures of maintaining a certain image in the film industry once took a toll on her mental health. Reddy stated, "I don't miss anything" from her previous persona, emphasizing that the industry's standards can be overwhelming. She noted a positive shift in the industry, where women are now recognized for their talents rather than just their appearances. Reddy is currently promoting her new film, 'Aakhri Sawal,' where she plays a professor, a role she feels aligns with her real-life experiences. Additionally, she enjoys creating humorous content with her mother-in-law on Instagram, which has become a source of joy for both of them. Married to Akshai Varde since 2014, Reddy is a mother of two and continues to advocate for body positivity and authenticity in her public persona.
