The phase of motherhood is the best and the most awaited one in a woman’s life. The moment a mother holds her baby for the first time in the labour room, her heart swells up with an array of emotions. All the pains taken by her during her pregnancy seems worth it when she looks into the eyes of her little munchkin. The relationship of a mother with her children is beyond all the measures and it is not possible to express the feeling of a mother towards her child with mere words. While we have seen many super mothers in the glamour world, but the one, who always has our hearts is Sameera Reddy.

Sameera Reddy has been an inspiration to all the mothers, who have dealt with all the ups and downs of pregnancy. Sameera had embraced motherhood for the first time on May 14, 2015, when she had welcomed her baby boy, Hans Varde. On July 12, 2019, Sameera had become a mother for the second time as she had welcomed a little princess and named her, Nyra. Sameera, who had undergone depression after her first child has come out in open to discuss the same and motivated all the mothers to stay strong and love one’s self.
On April 23, 2020, Sameera took to her Instagram handle and shared a collage of childhood pictures of her kids, Hans and Nyra. In the picture, we could see Hans and Nyra sporting the same onesie. Along with the collage, Sameera wrote a heart-melting note on how she had kept Hans’ onesie for her second child but was skeptical due to her postpartum blues. Her note can be read as “Hans2015 & Nyra2020. Same Onesie Two babies! This onesie is so special to me because I held on to it since 2015 Wanting another child but having postpartum blues and telling Akshai back then I didn’t have the courage to have a second baby. And here we are in 2020.”
Postpartum depression is a very common thing that every new mother undergoes. Sameera Reddy is one of the few actors, who had come out in open to admit about facing the same. Sameera had been quite vocal about undergoing postpartum depression after the birth of her son, Hans Varde.

She had also stated that self-acceptance is very important. She had revealed that in today’s world self-pity is a common thing and with the rise of social media, things have gotten even worse. With her campaign, she wanted to aware people that things are not as rosy as they seem on social media and there is nothing called picture-perfect. What is portrayed on social media is not at all true and what is important is to stay happy within. According to Sameera, internal happiness is the most important thing and rest is just materialist.

Sameera, while addressing her postpartum depression, had revealed, “Back then, I didn’t even realise I was suffering postpartum. When I complained that I was emotional, moody and feeling very disconnected, I was told, that they were the pregnancy blues. I went with that and kept thinking something is wrong with me. But later, when I consulted a doctor and opened up about my negative thoughts and how I was often feeling extremely low, that was when I was told that I had postpartum depression. As I waited too long to open up and get a diagnosis, it took me almost a year to get out of it.” Sameera had also retorted that with time, her perception about her body changed and she was more prepared when she was expecting Nyra.
