Saiyami Kher is ecstatic because her performance in her most recent film, Ghoomer, has been hailed as one of the best of her career, making it the talk of the town. Saiyami has been on the rise recently by committing to performance-driven roles and collaborating with unconventional filmmakers. The actress has demonstrated her versatility in films like Anurag Kashyap's Choked and R Balki's Ghoomer. Saiyami plays the part of Anina, a competitive athlete who tragically loses her right arm in an accident but regains her strength to become a history-defying athlete. Saiyami's most significant expression of gratitude came from the legend himself, Amitabh Bachchan, in the form of a handwritten letter and flowers.

 

Saiyami took to social media, posting the letter from Amitabh Bachchan which read, “In admiration - your grit, your sincerity, your level-headed performance and the brilliance of your presence in Ghoomer. May the accolades never diminish for you”. Saiyami was obviously emotional having received the letter, she revealed on social media, “I remember seeing a short film called "Looking for Amitabh" on how the visually challenged perceive this icon. From describing his trademark baritone to the sound of his shoes, or the scent of his perfume. We don't even see Mr. Bachchan, but we can experience the impact created by this superstar. As a kid, the signature KBC tune meant it was bedtime. My parents would come back from work. And my grandparents would finish up their chores. Despite our diverse interests and age gaps, this one show brought three generations together.”

 

She further revealed, “If there was a contestant who gushed over Mr. Bachchan, Aiedu, my grandmom would sit preening about him. She did this until her last breath. He was after all from her part of the country. Any compliment to him obviously meant a compliment to her. He represented the heartlands of our country. He represented the fulfillment of dreams. He represented hope.”

 

Saiyami further posted, “At the premiere of Ghoomer in Melbourne, everybody was sobbing. “Show some emotion Kher saab", AB said as he hugged me after our standing ovation. But I stood there seemingly zen about everything. In reel life I can cry buckets, in real life, you will never know how I'm feeling.” She added that yesterday, the doorbell rang, and there was a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten note from Amitabh Bachchan.

 

“Yesterday, as I sat at home pondering my fate, someone rang the doorbell. There was a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten note. My heart skipped a beat. Is this what I think it is? THE stamp of approval which every actor in this country dreams of? 1 looked up to the skies and finally bawled, "Look what this is, Aiedu,” wrote Saiyami.
