Mumbai, Aug 25 : Saiyami Kher has taken a bold stance, shedding light on the prevailing dearth of support for women-oriented stories in the Indian film industry. Drawing inspiration from the iconic hand pump scene in the mega-hit movie Gadar, originally starring Sunny Deol, Saiyami’s thought-provoking video serves as a powerful call to action.
In the video, Saiyami pays homage to the memorable hand pump scene from Gadar, reimagining it in her own style. With finesse and flair, she imitates the iconic moment, pulling out the pump, only to toss it away in a Ghoomer-style move reminiscent of her latest film Ghoomer. Her message is clear: Girls too are capable of achieving victory for Hindustan. A heartfelt tag to Sunny Deol accompanies her post, expressing gratitude for the inspiration he embodies.
Saiyami’s recent cinematic venture, Ghoomer, features her in the challenging role of a paraplegic cricketer who loses her right hand in a tragic accident. Her character’s journey mirrors her own in its determination and resilience. Guided by her coach, played by Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami’s character emerges triumphant, leading her team to victory and proudly bringing the trophy home for India.
As the film takes audiences on an emotional and inspirational journey, Saiyami’s poignant message through her video sparks a conversation about the role cinema plays in challenging stereotypes and advocating for change. The movie’s nationwide theatrical release further magnifies its impact, igniting discussions about the need to support and amplify women’s voices in the industry.
