'Not
The
Industry
But
I
Abandoned
Them',
Says
Sameera
The
actress
told
Pinkvilla,
"I
would
like
to
rephrase
that
[the
statement];
it
is
rude
to
say
that
they
abandoned
me.
I
will
take
my
statement
back
and
say
that
in
fact,
I
abandoned
them.
I
feel
somewhere
there
were
two
things
that
happened;
firstly,
I
couldn't
keep
up
with
the
lifestyle,
parties,
we
all
know
how
it
is
here...
one
whole
group
and
people
hanging
in
there
and
chaato
that
group
only."
'It
Is
A
Game'
She
further
added,
"It
is
a
game.
There
are
few
people
who
have
been
still
there
for
me
like
Shilpa
Shetty
and
family,
who
still
call
and
inquire.
Others
vanished
but
now
everyone
is
back,
now
I
am
invited
everywhere
(laughs).
I
just
don't
go,
I
don't
have
the
bandwidth
for
it.
Plus
I
have
the
shiest
husband
and
when
I
met
him,
he
thought
I
was
Lara
Dutta."
The
Actress
Admitted
Being
Depressed
During
Her
First
Pregnancy
"Four
years
ago,
I
don't
think
people
were
ready
(to
speak
on
depression).
It
was
only
Deepika
Padukone
who
started
the
conversation,
but
before
that,
I
don't
think
people
were
very
sensitive
to
such
conversations."
'I
Had
Tonnes
Of
Issues',
Says
Sameera
"What
happened
that
time
was
that
I
took
a
lot
of
hormones,
I
had
problems
with
my
pregnancy
and
I
was
bed-ridden.
I
had
tonnes
of
issues
but
it
was
my
mental
state
that
consumed
me.
I
felt
like
I
failed
myself.
I
let
my
body
go.
I
touched
a
102
KGs,
my
face
was
so
fat
and
it
was
the
horror
that
somebody
will
look
at
me,
and
they
did,
like
I
have
had
people
say,
'Is
that
Sameera
Reddy?' But
I
said
I
was
a
good
mother
because
even
if
I
went
to
the
bathroom
and
cried,
Hans
(her
son)
never
saw
it.
I
always
came
out
and
was
top-notch
with
him.
I
was
the
best
wife
that
I
could
be
to
my
husband,
but
internally
there
was
another
story
going
on."
The
Actress
Emerged
Stronger
"Everyone
told
me
that
after
what
you
went
through
in
the
first
pregnancy,
do
you
really
want
to
get
pregnant?
I
was
like
yes!
The
time
came
when
I
got
a
web
series
offer
last
year
in
May
which
had
an
amazing
storyline.
I
spoke
to
Akshai
[her
husband]
and
asked
him
if
I
should
take
it
up
because
it
was
my
chance
to
get
back
but
then
I
told
him
I
want
to
embrace
motherhood
again.
He
asked
me
if
I
was
ready
for
it
because
last
time
I
broke
into
pieces.
I
told
him
that
this
is
my
decision.
'I
don't
want
to
go
to
work
but
get
pregnant
again.'
This
time
I
will
do
it
my
way
and
not
let
anything
affect
me,
whoever
wants
to
say
anything,
I
will
not
mind.
That
energy
of
mine
has
resonated
throughout
the
pregnancy."
