Sameera Reddy, who is advocating for the cause of ‘imperfectly perfect’, has said it is fine to be ‘fat’ and ‘ugly’.
The actress wrote: “I had a message form 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.”
She added: “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
In a video with her mother-in-law Manjri Varde, Sameera posted: “Asli life partner toh Mother in law hoti hai. this is how I found my Sassy Saasu! The perfect match @manjrivarde #indianmatchmaking #motherinlaw edition #messymama #sassysaasu #saasbahu #comedy #famjam #imperfectlyperfect #keepingitreal @netflix_in Indian Matchmaking #spoof.”
According to Sameera, “Sima ji first you find me the mother-in-law, she is the asli life partner no. Jotish, palm-reader, face-reader, kuch bhi kar lo, mother-in-law toh sahi chahiye mujhe. Preferences, nai nai, requirement to hai. I mean looks for me is everything. She should be at least six feet tall. Definitely traditional dress, no tattoos, no scarf, no boots and of course, always listening to bhajan and me of course.”
