Sameera has received plenty of love from her fans about how candid she is on social media about various issues that plague not just her life, but the lives of women across the country.

“Did Not Just Happen Out Of The Blue”
Sameera spoke about how her relationship with her mother-in-law was not one that was established easily. She talked about how the both of them had to really work with one another to understand each other better and see eye to eye. It wasn’t sunshine and roses as everyone would expect it to be. She stated that because both she and Manjri are strong and headfast women, they had to walk a line and reach common ground. She also added that they might not necessarily see eye-to-eye all the time, but they definitely agree on how much they love one another. She also stated that it’s easy to come to a middle ground when the intentions are good.

Sameera spoke about how her mother-in-law’s artistic nature helps her stay grounded, and she really respects that aspect of her. With every relationship, you need to work on it to make it work.
When Sameera was asked about the relationship she shares with her own mother, she had a lot to say. She spoke about how her mother is the kind of person who has an incredible zest for life and refuses to give up. She stated that her mother taught her never to accept defeat and to focus on her goals and tackle her weaknesses head-on. She added that it’s because of her mother that she hasn’t lost her own zest for life and maintains such a positive outlook. Sameera called her mother a force to be reckoned with and stated that she wants to be at least half the person her mother is.
On Parenting Her Kids During Lockdown
Like many other parents stuck at home due to the lockdown, Sameera, too, had a few of her own challenges to face. She spoke about the uncertainty and helplessness she felt during this time and how it was the most challenging thing she had to go through. She added that she felt helpless because she was uncertain of how she would be able to protect her loved ones, especially her children, during a time like this. Sameera spoke about how the lockdown was quite tough on her and that at such times, she had to think less about herself and more about keeping those around her safe.
Sameera spoke about how her children were the first in her family to catch COVID-19, and in the process of taking care of them, both she and her husband fell sick as well. She stated that her kids’ symptoms had thankfully improved when she and her husband fell ill. Sameera’s husband, Akshai, and she took turns taking care of their children despite suffering from COVID-19 themselves. She added that if it weren’t for their incredible teamwork during this time, they would have suffered as well.
Sameera also gave advice to other parents who were in a similar situation. She spoke about how parents should be well-informed and extremely alert.

Sameera said that parents should give their kids vitamins and try not to let them be bogged down by all the stuff that’s going around outside. She stated that although it was challenging, it was important that parents need to do more than what they usually do to ensure that their children are calm and in a safe place.
