But when acting came into the picture, I realised I loved facing the camera and the different life that it brought with each character that I played onscreen.”
“But somewhere deep down in my heart I also wanted to always play a cricketer onscreen and fulfil my dream of being a cricketer no matter, even if meant as a role onscreen,” she said.
Talking about the film, Saiyami said, “Ghoomer gave me that opportunity, it’s like a dream come true project for me. It was an emotionally and physically challenging role but I enjoyed every bit of it. I don’t want to restrict myself and want to play more and more characters.”
