Finding her rhythm - Telegraph India · telegraphindia.com

Saiyami Kher is an actress from India who makes Hindi films, often called Bollywood movies.

A newspaper talked to her at a hotel in the city of Kolkata.

She is in a new thriller called Haiwaan, where she plays a police officer.

The film is directed by a famous filmmaker named Priyadarshan and also stars big actors named Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar.

Saiyami said the director works very fast, finishing scenes in just a few hours.

She first met Saif Ali Khan when she was a model doing an eyewear advertisement.

Her very first movie was called Mirzya, and many people called it a failure because it did not earn much money.

But Saiyami says it was still very special to her because it gave her great friends and teachers.

When she had no work, she started running and finished a marathon, which helped her get through a difficult time.

Now she hopes to make movies that help and inspire people.
