[edit] Career

She was first noticed in a music video, Aahista by Pankaj Udhas. She modeled for a while before deciding to act in films. She made her film debut opposite Sohail Khan in Maine Dil Tujhko Diya. Her role was of a shy college girl who falls in love with one of her fellow students. The film was not a success, but she did get other film offers by the time her debut film released.She tried her luck in tollywood in a few films ( "Narasimhudu" starring Jr. NTR and "Jai Chiranjeeva" starring Megastar Chiranjeevi) but both tumbled at the box office.

After two more failures at the box office, she had her first success with Musafir. The film eventually flopped but her role in it transformed her from shy college girl to a sex symbol. The film was quite controversial as it included a kissing scene between her and her co-star Anil Kapoor. Sukanya Verma from rediff.com noted that, " Clearly, Sameera has the meatiest role of them all. She doesn't look uncomfortable doing intimate scenes with Mahesh Manjrekar or baring her skin almost throughout the film. She is not too bad in the emotional scenes either. Though she could try being a little less aggressive in her dancing. "

She has acted in two Bengali films, Kalpurush and Ami, Yasin ar Amar Madhubala (a.k.a. The Voyuers), both directed by Budhdhadeb Dasgupta.

One of her elder sisters, Sushma Reddy made her acting debut with the film Chocolate. Her other sister Meghna Reddy was a popular VJ on the Channel V. She made a guest appearance on the British show Casualty.

Sameera's comical act and timing in her recent release Race, has fetched very good and positive reviews from both the crictics as well as the cinegoers. Taran Adarsh from indiaFM noted that, " Sameera excels as the dumb girl. Actually, it’s a tough job and she does it well. "
