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.
