Saiyami Kher trained with real-life firefighters to prepare for her next role | Bengali Movie News

Saiyami Kher, known for her dedication to her craft, is going the extra mile to bring authenticity to her role as a firefighter in the upcoming film, directed by Rahul Dholakia. In preparation for this groundbreaking character, Kher trained extensively with real-life firefighters, visiting Mumbai fire stations multiple times to gain firsthand experience of their rigorous routines, techniques, and mental resilience. Starring alongside Pratik Gandhi and Divyendu Sharma, the film will be one of the first in Indian cinema to highlight the life of a female firefighter, with Kher leading a powerful portrayal of courage and commitment.
Kher shared her experience of working with Mumbai’s firefighters, saying, “Preparing for this role was deeply inspiring and exciting. Spending time with real firefighters gave me an understanding of how little I knew about firefighters in our city and what all they have to endure. The number of female firefighters also was an eye opener. The training sessions were very exciting. I learned how to handle equipments, and did the drills the firefighter does. Seeing the sacrifices these men and women make every day—often at great risk to themselves—was incredibly humbling.”
