Sameera Reddy is on a high after having enjoyed a twenty minutes meet with the America’s top talk show woman Oprah Winfrey at socialite Parmeshwar Godrej’s party. Parameshwar Godrej had organised a fantastic party to welcome Oprah Winfrey in India. She had called lots of people from Mumbai and Sameera was among the invited guests.

Sameera Reddy, an Oprah Winfrey fan recounts her Oprah experience from Singapore, where she is currently holidaying. Sameera said, “I was promoting Vettai in Chennai and was scheduled to leave for Singapore after that. But when the party invitation arrived, I made sure that I was present in Mumbai to attend as I’m a big fan of Oprah.”

Explaining about her meeting with her lovable lady, “Oprah was humble and very down to earth. She mingled with everyone at the party. She was surrounded by many people at the party and I waited for my turn to meet her. When we finally met, the beautiful lime-green Shantanu-Nikhil sari that I was wearing caught her attention. She exclaimed, ‘oh my god! What a beautiful sari! I love the colour. It’s my favourite’.”

Sameera immediately offered to get a similar saree made for Oprah. Initially, Oprah was a little hesitant but agreed on Sameera’s insistence. Sameera instantly called up designer duo Shantanu-Nikhil to design a similar sari for Oprah. The saree will be sent to her when she is in Agra.

With a lot of excitement Sameera told, “I also told her that I was very plump earlier and she inspired me to lose weight. She couldn’t believe it and said that I looked gorgeous! My day was made. I’d say she’s one of the most humble celebrities I’ve ever met”. After meeting Oprah, Sameera tweeted, “My god! Oprah Winfrey is the warmest most down-to-earth person I have ever met! What a personality! I’m thrilled!”
