MARATHON WOMAN

Saiyami Kher is known for her distinctive roles, navigating both mainstream and independent film landscapes with equal finesse. Her journey reflects a deliberate choice to engage with narratives that resonate deeply with her aspirations. In her pursuit of roles, Saiyami trusts her instincts, forging collaborations with acclaimed directors like Anurag Kashyap and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. As she navigates the complexities of fame and personal fulfilment, Saiyami remains grounded by ingrained values like patience, integrity, and the importance of self-reliance. Excerpts from an interview with the actor who is also a consummate athlete

What impressed you about Sharmajee Ki Beti, considering your last film, Ghoomer, was also based on cricket?

Tahira Kashyap narrated this film to me almost six or seven years ago. Generally, I go by my gut feeling. A lot of people are asking me, ‘Why did you do cricket again?’ Actually, Sharmajee Ki Beti was offered to me first. I had already committed to it. Then I got Ghoomer, which for me has been the most amazing and life-altering experience.

The film discusses gender inequality. Did you have to fight discrimination in any area, on a personal or professional level?

Fortunately, I am surrounded by very strong-headed women, be it my nani, dadi, my mother or my sister. I’ve never faced discrimination, maybe because of the way I have been brought up. A woman can do the same or more than what a man can do is what my upbringing has always been. Having said that, I’ve felt that little bit of disparity working on certain films where it was also male-dominated. Otherwise, I feel it is such an equal playing ground.

8 A.M. Metro is a beautiful film and was different from the rest of your movies...
