The actor opened up about her struggles with motherhood after her first child was born. She spoke about how new mothers are not informed beforehand about the hardships that accompany motherhood. These issues include post-pregnancy weight gain, the rush of hormones, the busyness of taking care of a newborn, major changes in routine, and the high expectations from a 2020 parent. The actress elaborates on how parenting is a journey without a script and mistakes cannot be afforded. This constant striving to do the best by their kid can be stressful for mothers, yet they cannot confide in other adults for the fear of being mistaken as an unfit parent.

The actor revealed that when her elder son was born, she suffered from postpartum blues. After delivering her son, Hans, Sameera Reddy felt disconnected from her firstborn. Her husband, Akshai Varde, took care of the baby Hans for one week before mama could cognize and adapt to the transformation that accompanies motherhood. Being in the public eye throughout her career, Sameera Reddy couldn’t cope with her post-pregnancy weight gain. She had a major drop in self-esteem, despite her husband’s repeated assurances of her beauty. Fearing ridicule and negative comments regarding her weight, the actress stayed away from the spotlight for more than a year. It was only when the actress became pregnant again, she realized that leaning in and enjoying the pregnancy is a healthier way to deal with the situation.
