Sameera Reddy has shared a heartfelt message about body positivity amid the ongoing social media discussion surrounding Katrina Kaif’s post-pregnancy appearance. While Sameera did not directly mention Katrina Kaif or Salman Khan in her post, her message about embracing one’s body comes days after Salman spoke out against trolling over age, weight, appearance and motherhood on Bigg Boss 20.
Sameera Reddy’s body positivity post
Sameera took to Instagram to share a video featuring words commonly used to describe different body types, including “plumpy”, “thicc”, “curvy”, “chubby”, “healthy”, “chunky” and “golu”. The actor appeared in a series of outfits in the video, embracing her curves and turning labels that are often used judgmentally into a celebration of body diversity.Alongside the video, Sameera wrote, “Whether you are a well-known personality, a young teen finding her way, a new mama, a woman seen year of judgement… or just a person who needs to hear this – your body listens and needs you to love it back irrespective of anything anyone has to say. Curvy – Beautiful – Luscious You #bodypositivity #imperfectlyperfect.”She also wrote across the video, “Words I love being called plumpy, thicc, curvy, chubby, healthy, chunky, and golu.”Her message comes amid a wider conversation around the scrutiny women face over their appearance, particularly after pregnancy and motherhood.
Salman Khan speaks out against body-shaming
Sameera’s post comes shortly after Salman Khan addressed online trolling during a ‘Bigg Boss 20′ ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode. The actor criticised people who target celebrities over their age, weight, appearance, family background, career setbacks or motherhood.Salman said, “Suddenly, everyone starts talking about age, saying someone has gotten old. What do you want to troll someone for? Their weight, their looks, their family, their smile, a career flop or becoming a mother? You are merely revealing your own upbringing.”He also spoke about women facing criticism after pregnancy, saying, “Yes, I have turned 60, man. Why do you troll a woman who is pregnant? Everyone gains weight during pregnancy… she gained weight because she was pregnant; she will get fit again when she returns to films. She simply wanted to spend time with her family. Don’t troll.”Although Salman did not name Katrina in the episode, his remarks were widely interpreted as addressing the trolling she faced following a recent public appearance after becoming a mother.
