Saiyami Kher is over the moon as her latest release, `Ghoomer` has become the talk of the town with her performance being lauded as her career best. In the last few years Saiyami has been on an uprising of having committed herself to performance oriented roles and working with maverick filmmakers. From Anurag Kashyap’s Choked to R Balki’s `Ghoomer`, the actress has proved her mettle as a versatile performer.
Saiyami essays the role of Anina, a determined athlete who due to an unfortunate accident loses her right arm, finds strength again to become a history-defying sportsperson. Both the audiences and critics alike have lauded her earnest performance which is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding roles taken on by an actor to play a paraplegic sportsperson. The film has one of the highest IMDb approval ratings of the year currently with a 9.6 score of 10. For Saiyami, one of the most pivotal appreciation came in the form of a handwritten letter and flowers from the legend himself, Amitabh Bachchan. Saiyami took to social media, sharing the letter which expressed, “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” said Big B in the letter.
