Sameera has championed body positivity in many of her posts. She put on a lot of weight after her two pregnancies and has struggled to deal with the change. In the process, she became the face of resistance to the craze to knock off postpartum fat via unhealthy ways.

A few days ago, she had shared a then-and-now picture of herself and spoken about how it was not healthy to keep comparing with one’s own previous self. She wrote: “Do you keep comparing yourself to what you were before? The healthiest thing you can do for your body and soul is to redefine and not get stuck on what used to be (sic).” 

Sameera added, “The world will still judge but you don’t need to fall prey to that . Move forward . Don’t look back (sic).”
