After Saiyami Kher began her Bollywood career with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirziya in 2016, she had to wait a long time to bag her next projects.
But this year has been good for the bubbly actress who can currently be seen in three Web shows, playing three contrasting characters.
From a special agent in Special Ops to a bank clerk in Choked to an escort in Breathe: Into The Shadows, Saiyami has surprised audiences with her versatility.
“It’s a very new feeling because people have really appreciated my work. I didn’t get that with my debut film,” Saiyami whose paternal grandmother was Bollywood legend Usha Kiran and whose paternal aunt is actress Tanvi Azmi --
Special Ops, Choked and Breathe: Into The Shadows..., you have back-to-back releases. How did you turn your career around?
‘Turned my career around’ is a very generous term.
It’s an overwhelming feeling because the three projects I worked in the last year-and-a-half have all come out in a span of four to five months.
It’s a very new feeling because people have really appreciated my work.
I didn’t get that with my debut film.
This is a new feeling and I am really enjoying it.
You signed Breathe before Special Ops and Choked. How did it come to you?
I auditioned for it.
(Casting director) Mukesh Chhabra was auditioning, and he asked me to come.
I didn’t know too many details because that’s how auditions happen. You are just given a scene or two.
Producer Vikram (Malhotra) and Director Mayank (Sharma) were happy to have me on board after the audition.
