Sameera even mentioned that she started feeling insecure about her body after her pregnancy. Talking about the same, she said:
"Over the years, I have struggled with my body and body image. I lost a lot of weight to look the way I was expected to, and dated men who pointed out my flaws-which only made me feel worse. After my pregnancy, it was difficult to love myself because of my past insecurities."

"After giving birth, a woman is expected to get back in shape within months, which is unrealistic. I still have a floppy, saggy stomach, which no amount of exercising has helped....if I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self to work on her self-worth."
