Saiyami Kher, who is making her Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirziya, says life can’t get any better for her.
“I was chosen for Mirzya after six months of auditioning. Then, when I finally got selected, Rakeysh sir took me to Delhi to be trained by a theatre director Dilip Shankar,” Kher said.
“I evolved as a person and as an actor over the last two years when I worked on this film,” said Kher.
Kher will star opposite Harshvardhan Kapoor, son of actor Anil Kapoor, who is also making his Bollywood debut with the film.
“My co-star Harshvardhan Kapoor has already moved on. He is doing a second film. I am still emotionally attached to Mirzya. I know everyone will disperse soon. But how do I deal with it? It’s like end of schooling. You know you have to move on in life. But the break is very painful,” she added.
Talking about Mehra, the actress said: “He is family now. He has taught me so much and... he’s a fabulous cook. His mutton curry is to die for.”
Kher described her co-star’s caution about his diet.
“I am a complete foodie. Harshvardhan measures every morsel he eats. So I’d be devouring my mutton curry while he would be nibbling on his 200 grams of broccoli,” she said.
But the two of them had an amazing time together. “Our characters function in two time zones and we shot the two stories like two different films. Mehra shot us in one time zone first, then the other,” Kher said.
“For one of the two characters I had to get a muscular physique and look like an Amazonian warrior. Muscle is something usually associated in our films with the male actors. So it was a fun and challenge to break that mould and the myth,” she added.
