From 92 kgs to 81 kgs: Sameera Reddy shares how she lost 11 kilos with..
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, people are obsessed with staying fit and looking young. Many people resort to beauty trends to get quicker results. Real transformation requires persistence, strength, and discipline, which is not everybody's cup of tea. However, there is one such actress and mother of two who doesn't believe in fad diets or filters, instead, she has taken the sustainable route for her overall well-being and transformation.
The person we are talking about is none other than actress Sameera Reddy. The 'De Dana Dan' actress lost almost 11 kilos in one year and is currently inspiring everybody with her transformation, not by going for quick fixes or striving to be skinny but just by focusing on ageing healthily, creating strength, and being present with herself.
Wake-up call for Sameera came on her birthday, 14 December 2024, when she realised she was frustrated with weight fluctuations. 'It actually started when I realised that constantly yo-yoing with my weight wasn't sustainable'. The perpetual yo-yo of weight loss was unsustainable, and the quest for slenderness was not worth the physical and emotional toll. Her epiphany? Long-term health was all about accepting consistency, not quick fixes.
Rather than following extreme trends, she concentrated on developing healthy habits—exercising 4–5 times a week and prioritising fitness no matter how busy life became. Her exercise became her self-care, not a punishment for eating.
Sameera refrained from fad diets and began paying attention to portion control and well-balanced meals. She even further said that banning certain food groups or starving does not bring sustainable outcomes. 'There are no severe restrictions,' she stated, mentioning that one needs to facilitate her workouts by feeding the right stuff, but not through deprivation.
Sameera also emphasised the emotional side of transformation- 'You have to be your own biggest cheerleader.' Though her family was supportive, she stressed that change really starts from within. 'Not everybody is going to cheer you on, and that's okay. You have to show up for yourself,' she told others to do vision boards, set goals, and have faith in the process.
Her journey serves as a reminder that wellness is not about chasing skinny bodies but about feeling strong, confident, and grounded in your own skin, on your own terms.

Throwback: When Jr NTR was romantically linked with Sameera Reddy during 'Ashok' shoot
Picture Credit: X Jr NTR is one of India's most celebrated actors today with a career spanning decades and impactful performances. However, back in 2006, during the filming of his movie 'Ashok', the 'RRR' star found himself at the center of widespread media speculation regarding an alleged relationship with his then-co-star, Sameera Reddy . This throwback takes us back to the time when rumors about a link-up between these two prominent figures dominated headlines, capturing the imagination of fans and the media alike. Sameera breaks silence on rumours Fast forward to 2020, Sameera Reddy decided during an interview with Prema The Journalist shared that her friendship with Jr NTR was "blown out of proportion." She described herself as a "very friendly and straightforward girl," and revealed that her relationship with Jr NTR was purely a close friendship. "He is a wonderful co-star who taught me a lot," Sameera said, noting that Jr NTR was initially perceived as an aloof and quiet person, but they got along well on set. How the rumours affected her personal life However, the actress shared how the excessive attention on their supposed relationship diverted focus from her work. "People were only talking about us. They were not talking about my movies, or what I am capable of. The focus went from Sameera Reddy to Sameera NTR,' she lamented. The rumors became so overwhelming that her family, especially her father, who is an Andhra Reddy man, faced uncomfortable questions from their community. This pressure heavily influenced Sameera's decision to distance herself from Telugu cinema. Moving away from Telugu cinema "I just distanced myself and stopped talking to him after 'Ashok'," she explained. Sameera decided to shift her career focus towards Tamil cinema and Bollywood to escape the persistent rumors. Despite the difficulties, she expressed gratitude towards Jr NTR for being a supportive co-star throughout. On the work front, Sameera Reddy was last seen in the Kannada film 'Varadhanayaka.' Jr NTR, meanwhile, will next appear in 'War 2' alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. The movie will be released on August 14.

Sameera Reddy fights malevolent spirit in 'Chimni' teaser
Picture Credit: X The teaser of the upcoming horror-thriller film 'Chimni' was unveiled on Thursday. The film stars Sameera Reddy in the role of Kali, who is fighting against a pishach, as per the glimpses in the teaser. The film tells the story of a grieving mother in a cursed Chanderi palace who battles a malevolent spirit possessing her daughter. As she delves deeper, she unravels a disturbing web of supernatural horror and human vice, tied to a spine-tingling fetus in fetu mystery. Speaking about her role, Sameera Reddy said, "I was drawn to Kali because of her mysterious aura. What excited me most was portraying her across three life stages-from a young bride to a mother, and later in her 60s. Each phase had emotional depth, and switching between them on set was a real challenge. I truly enjoyed diving into her many layers, and I think audiences will find the story both gripping and emotional. It's definitely an edge-of-the-seat experience". The film is directed by Gagan Puri and produced by Shah Creative Entertainment. It also stars Prachi Thakur, Shardul Rana, Aditya Kumar, Preeti Chaudhary, and Saurabh Agnihotri. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo Director Gagan Puri said, "For Sameera's character, initially we were hunting for a unique character who was mature, intense, and had a village look-like healthy women. My casting director suggested Sameera's name, and at first, we had to think it over-whether we could go ahead or not-because we hadn't seen her in older avatars. Then suddenly, I watched her Instagram Reel, and I thought, yes, I think she is a perfect fit. And when it came to the look test, I was quite 100% sure that this thing would be done easily. And she performed perfectly-perfection is a small word". While the official release date of Chimni is yet to be announced, the teaser has already sparked curiosity and anticipation, promising a hauntingly intense cinematic experience.
