Sameera Reddy was hopping mad when she discovered that a weekly publication had used an old photo of her with the King of Good Times, Vijay Mallya for a story on his financial troubles called, The End of Good Times. Sameera said that she has absolutely no relation to the story and it was unethical to use her picture for it.

Besides Vijay Mallya is her uncle, and the photo has caused a lot of embarassment to her family. She has filed a complaint against the publication demanding that they apologize publicly at the earliest.
