Saiyami Kher is currently basking in the accolades she's receiving for her stellar acting in R Balki's Ghoomer. The film, also starring Abhishek Bachchan, Angad Bedi and Shabana Azmi, tells the tale of a specially-abled female cricketer and her courage in the face of all odds, with a determined coach and a supportive lover by her side.
The Free Press Journal caught up with the actress for an exclusive chat. The actress opened up about her crushes, mental strength, and her future projects.
When asked who is the one person she is in love with, Saiyami Kher said, “Unfortunately, abhi toh nahin hai koi (there isn’t anyone right now). I would love to have someone as I feel you should have a companion in life. I have a crush on Kane Williamson. He is very sweet and looks like a good human being. Being a sportsman, I always had a crush on sportspersons.”
On being asked if she ever had a crush on any actors, the actress said, “I did have crushes on Ryan Gosling and George Clooney and have a big crush on the younger lot. During my childhood days, I was never allowed to watch a film. Obviously, you knew Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. He is the man who teaches you love. The definition of love is Shah Rukh Khan!”
When asked how she keeps herself mentally strong, Saiyami Kher said, “I wish my parents thought I was mentally strong because your family suffers the brunt of the loss of their loved ones. If you have a supportive system as our family and friends in place then you will have a shoulder to fall on. We all need a support system. It's in human nature. You can’t be alone. I am blessed to have a very strong support system.”
The actress also shared that her support system and her upbringing is her strength. She also talked about her movie ‘Metro 8 A.M.’ and said that it had a nice message of surviving depression but unfortunately didn’t run successfully. She felt it was her responsibility to take the film forward as it had a strong message.
Talking about her upcoming projects, Saiyami Kher said, “I have finished a film with director Rahul Dholakia Agni. I am very excited. Special Ops also we were supposed to do. I hope that starts soon. I am playing a firefighter in that film. It's a very different role. It has an ensemble cast. It’s again a very real film on fire fighters that the audience has never seen before.”
The actress also opened up about the nuances she learned from her co-star Shabana Azmi. She said, “Most importantly she is a director’s actor. In spite of having all the vast knowledge as she has been around for so long, she completely surrenders to the director. She told me to always surrender to the director. I hope I can learn that as she is so good at performing that it doesn’t look as if she is putting in any effort at all. She easily understands the camera which is what I have learned from her.”
