This time, Sameera realized how "she has a bump and a bit of weight is going to happen". But I wanted to go out and say Hey! she said to IANS.
Recounting the experience of her first pregnancy, she said: "I had the placenta previa, which had been bedridden for about four to five months after pregnancy. I was just starting to gain weight and falling head over heels because it was all about glamorous shows, rewards and lifestyle that I could not handle what my pregnancy was doing to me. "
She became a reclusive woman, and in hindsight she thought it was a" cowardly act. "
" We are so much involved as actors or spectators that we describe this life unreal. I also bought that and I was trying to play it as an actor. I was also trying to keep up and say: "Hey! look I am so perfect. (But) I was the poster of what a pregnancy should not be, "she added.
After giving birth to her son, Sameera claimed to have touched 102 kg.

Sameera said that she could not bear any eyes.
" Everyone knew that I felt depressed, but I was a good mother. To top it off, I had this car condition called alopecia areata, which made me lose hair after almost six months of giving birth. But that has nothing to do with my pregnancy. "
All of this combined led to a crisis.
" I worked very hard. I had some help in terms of therapy and I understood that I was lost and confused as a person … What I was as & # 39; Actor and where I am today as mother and wife. "
