One such connection is between Actress Saiyami Kher and her love for the game of cricket. In a recent interview, Kher admitted that Cricket was her first love and she has been playing the sport since her school days. Saiyami also said that she wished to become a professional player before turning into an actress.
The 31-year-old is currently shooting for her new film “Ghoomer” – based up on a real life incident. In that movie, Saiyami is playing the role of a disabled cricketer and that’s when she initially opened up about her craze for Cricket. In a recent twitter post, Saiyami uploaded a video of her playing cricket and wrote quite an emotional caption to it.
I played every game possible in school, except the gentleman’s game. From gathering 11 girls to make a team, to today watching the WPL feels like a personal win. Maybe, I could fulfil my childhood dream & try for the selections next year if I’m not shooting. 😉#WPL2023 pic.twitter.com/t1TY8ThcmL
