South actress Samantha Akkineni showered love on Sameera Reddy as she shared her video, where the latter is speaking against body shaming.
Samantha took to her Instagram stories to share Sameera’s video. Earlier, sharing the video, Sameera had written, “I had a message from a mom who says she feels ‘fat’ ‘ugly’ and ‘not beautiful’ with her post baby fat . She said she looked at me and felt dejected . OMG!!! So here are my morning swelly eyes . No tricks no make up just me owning it! And I’m hoping that this enforces a positive spin on our own expectations of ourselves . I feel coming back to the public view in a way that I feel no pressure for my own mental health has helped me stay focused on being a good mother and a person who is self accepting that makes it a healthier space for all around me . Don’t dwell on what you are not and what you don’t have ! Let’s focus on the good we are all #imperfectlyperfect #loveyourself #justthewayyouare #keepingitreal.”
The actor said, "fat and ugly are the words that I fight against. I try to be fearless and show exactly how it is. I don’t want people to follow me to compare. I grew up always being compared to my stick-thin sisters and then I went into the industry where I was compared to everybody.”
Samantha shared the video with a heart emoticon. Several fans and industry friends also supported Sameera after she shared the beautiful video.
This is not the first time Sameera has openly spoken about any kind of discrimination that people, more so women, face with regard to their skin colour and pregnancy related weight gain.
