MUMBAI: Diwali means family time for Sameera Reddy, but this time, she was disheartened as her busy shooting schedule in France kept her at bay from family.

Her parents, knowing full well that their daughter would be missing them and the celebrations at home, decided to surprise her. Sexy Sam was overjoyed when she saw her mom in France on her sets. Except for Sameera, the entire unit knew about her parents’ visit. Guess this Diwali was extra-special for the actress, even if it was far from home!
