'I used full body makeup to match the colour of my face with my body': Sameera Reddy reveals on being mad
Have you ever felt pressured to change yourself to fit others’ beauty standards? Sameera Reddy shared her story: on her first movie set, she was told she was too dark—forced to wear makeup 2-3 shades lighter, plus padded bras, bum pads and colored lenses. Crew body-shamed her, and family had commented on her skin tone and weight growing up. She spent 20 years confused between her true self and industry demands, breaking free from insecurities only in her 40s. Now she’s back in cinema, unapologetically herself.
