Sameera Reddy has said that Hrithik Roshan noticed her discomfort while talking to people and gave her a book that helped her a lot.

Actor Samera Reddy has said that Hrithik Roshan helped her overcome stammering due to which she used to hesitate to speak in front of people. Speaking on a chat show, Sameera claimed that Hrithik gave her a book that helped her gain confidence and improve her speech. Hrithik is also known to have struggled with stammering in the past.

Sameera Reddy has said that Hrithik Roshsan helped her with stammering - a speech problem that he also faced.

A Mumbai Mirror report quoted her as saying, “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.”

Hrithik has openly talked about his speech issues in the past. “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,” he said earlier this year.

Sameera and her husband Akshai Varde, who welcomed a daughter last month, have named the newborn Nyra. Announcing the name of her second child, Sameera took to Instagram and wrote: “Welcoming our little lady to the Varde family, baby girl Nyra.” Along with the post, Sameera shared a few photographs of herself with her son Hans, who can be seen holding a paper on which “Nyra” is written. The Tezz actor married businessman Akshai in 2014. She gave birth to Hans in 2015.

Since her daughter’s birth, Sameera has shared pictures of the newly born and also long write-ups on her experience of motherhood for the second time.
