In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
actress
Sameera
Reddy
revealed
that
she
suffered
from
post-partum
depression
after
her
first
pregnancy
and
didn't
even
realise
the
same!
She
said,
"Back
then,
I
didn't
even
realise
I
was
suffering
post-partum.
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," added
Sameera.
Sameera
gave
birth
to
her
firstborn
in
2015
and
welcomed
her
second
child
in
July
2019.
Speaking
of
her
second
pregnancy,
the
actress
said
that
she
was
well
prepared
and
had
a
change
in
her
attitude
and
perspective
towards
her
body.
She
said
that
she
was
vocal
because
she
wanted
to
help
new
mothers
realise
when
and
if
they
were
slipping
into
post-partum
depression
and
added
that
it's
nothing
to
be
ashamed
of.
Those,
who
follow
Sameera
on
Instagram,
must
be
aware
of
her
campaign
-
#ImperfectlyPerfect.
Speaking
of
which,
the
Musafir
actress
said,
"My
campaign
comes
from
the
fact
that
I
felt
completely
disillusioned
and
broken
after
being
pregnant
the
first
time
when
I
gained
weight
and
was
105
kgs.
The
perfect
body
and
the
perfect
face
that
I
worked
on,
for
my
film
career,
broke
apart
and
I
was
completely
lost."
