Veteran actress Sameera Reddy has done only a handful of Tamil films but remains a favorite of fans even to this day. Her beautiful acting in Suriya's 'Vaaranam Aayiram' directed by GVM and her roles opposite Ajith Kumar in 'Asal' and Madhavan in 'Vettai' are worth mentioning.

Sameera has cut down on acting ever since she married Akshai Varde, an entrepreneur in 2014. The couple have a daughter and a son. The 40 year old actress put on weight after her second pregnancy but still had no qualms about sharing her photos on social media. She also promoted the philosophy of no makeup and posed with her greying hair too.

Sameera's most recent Insta post reveals the secret of her losing 10 kgs weight in no time. She wrote "One year ago I started to take my fitness seriously??I was 92 kgs. Today I am 81 kgs✅But I always say more that the weight loss I’m grateful for increase in my energy levels and agility???? what has helped me ?
