It was only recently that Sameera Reddy embraced motherhood for the second time after she gave birth to a baby girl whom she has named Nyra. Sameera had a short but memorable stint in the film industry. She has been a part of some entertaining films like Race, Darrna Mana Hai and De Dana Dan amongst others. However, her journey wasn’t always an easy one. On a chat show, Reddy opened up about her struggles of stammering and how Hrithik Roshan helped her overcome it.
As per a report in Mumbai Mirror, Sameera revealed how she couldn’t interact with others or go for auditions due to her stammering problem. However, it was Hrithik Roshan who came to her rescue. “Due to my stammering problem, I would hesitate to speak in front of others, and (would hesitate) going for auditions thinking that people would judge me. Hrithik, being the sweet and caring person, noticed this and gave me a book that changed my life. It helped me overcome my fear. Gradually, I started noticing changes in my speech,” said the actor. A sweet gesture indeed!
Well, it is a known fact that the Kites actor himself suffered from speech impairment issues and he has been quite vocal about the same. In the past, Hrithik was quoted as saying, “I’d practise every day to overcome the speech issue, I still do for an hour at least so that I can control the secondary actions like twitching and all. The unacceptability to stammering was not only bothersome in my childhood but prevailed till 2012, long after I had become a film star.”
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan, who was last seen in Super 30, is now prepping up for his upcoming action thriller WAR, alongside Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor.
