Saiyami Kher says she’s drawn to roles that take everything out of her

Bollywood actress Saiyami Kher, who is gearing up for her upcoming film “Agni,” has shared that she likes to do roles that challenge her and push her out of her comfort zone. In “Agni, she portrays the character of a firefighter. The actress, who is known for “Mirzya,” “Ghoomer,” “Special OPS,” and “Breathe,” expressed her contentment with being recognised as an actor capable of handling rugged and challenging roles in Bollywood.

Elaborating on the subject, she said: “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to portray strong characters in the work I have done so far. It’s immensely fulfilling to be recognised for my ability to take on roles that push me out of my comfort zone and demand physical and emotional dedication. I’ve always been drawn to roles that demand everything from me because, in return, they give me so much. My attempt has always been to lose myself in the character.”

“So when someone says, ‘Oh, the ‘Ghoomer girl’ is the same girl from ‘Choked?’ I take it as a compliment because, as an actor, it feels great not to find the same person in every character. My journey as an actor has been one of constant learning, growth, and I am grateful for every opportunity to challenge myself and inspire and touch people’s lives. Acting is a very powerful medium. So when people come back and say your film inspired me, taught me, or moved me, I feel it’s a big success for me,” she added.

Meanwhile, actor Pavail Gulati has expressed gratitude for the love he has received for his 2022 romantic web series “Faadu,” sharing that he “cannot confirm” anything regarding the sequel of the show, adding that he is excited about the prospect of collaborating with Saiyami Kher and director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari once again. If the show is returning for season two, Pavail, who last featured in the movie ‘Goodbye’, said: “I am humbled by the love and support we received for “Faadu.” While I cannot confirm anything at this time, I am excited about the prospect of collaborating with Saiyami and Ashwiny once again. I’m sure we can bring the magic of season one to the story to take it forward from where it was left off earlier.”

A source closer to the series added: “The chemistry between Pavail and Saiyami was a highlight of the first season, and we would love to explore their dynamic further in a potential sequel. We are exploring various ideas, and I am optimistic about what the future holds for ‘Faadu’.” In the meanwhile, Saiyami doesn’t believe in crash diets but rather enjoys home-cooked meals and can stick to the same thing for months. “I am not at all somebody who believes in these crash diets. I believe in keeping a balanced diet. I like to eat home food. With the profession I am in, it is tough to do that because I am travelling and never at home,” Saiyami said.
