Sameera Reddy is expecting her second child and is currently in her third trimester. She married business Akshai Varde in the year 2014 and their son Hans was born in 2015. Soon after she got married, Sameera was hardly seen in the limelight. But with her second pregnancy, Sameera is going all out and flaunting her baby bump like a boss. She leaves no stone unturned in sharing her cute photos on her Instagram page.

While many loved her pregnancy look, she was even trolled and Sameera gave a befitting reply to them. She had said, "There are sexy ones like Kareena Kapoor Khan who's come out looking fully hot, and there are people like me who take time (to get back in shape). I want to ask trollers: 'Was your mom hot, when you came out?' It's shameful. Pregnancy is such a natural process. It's so beautiful. It took me time to (lose weight) with the first baby. Maybe it'll take me time with the second baby. But what's most important is to embrace yourself. And to all trolls: 'Say what you want guys, I think I have a superpower, I'm giving birth to a baby."

During a recent interaction with IANS, Sameera spoke at length about her life after the first pregnancy and the pressure she dealt with during those days. Sameera Reddy, who tied the knot with Akshai Varde, immediately got pregnant after her wedding. Talking about the same, she stated, "I got pregnant in just a couple of months after my marriage. The game plan was to have the pregnancy and bounce back and getting in the limelight again. But I have never experienced anything like that... It was just the opposite. It was the worst case scenario of what I could’ve imagined in terms of my body and the way I fell apart as a person because the pregnancy was very tough for me."

Sameera went on to say, "I had placenta previa, which had me on bed rest for almost four to five months after the pregnancy. I just started putting on weight and falling into some kind of place in my head because it went from shows, award functions and a glamorous lifestyle to just not being able to handle what pregnancy was doing to me."

Sameera, who had hit 102 kgs post delivery of her first baby added, "From being that 'sexy Sam', I went to this. I put on 32 kg up and couldn’t recognise myself. I was a complete mess. I would leave the house and they said, ‘Is this Sameera Reddy? What happened to her?’ That pushed me into a further hole. Everyone knew I was feeling depressed, but I was a good mother. To top it all, I got this auto ailment called Alopecia areata, which made me lose patches of my hair after almost six months of giving birth. But it did not have anything to do with my pregnancy."
