I’m blown away by Alia Bhatt’s work: Saiyami Kher

Actor Saiyami Kher, who is making her Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirzya, says she finds it “mind-blowing” to see Alia Bhatt’s range as an actor.

“There is so much to learn from any generation (of actors). Currently, I am completely blown away by Alia’s work. She is completely on another level altogether,” said Saiyami. “The kind of films she does is mind-blowing. I watched Udta Punjab and she is phenomenal,” she added.

In her debut film Mirzya, Saiyami is paired with newcomer Harshvardhan Kapoor. Asked if she hopes to make inroads into international cinema someday, Saiyami said, “I would love to, becasue I don’t see language as a barrier in acting. If something comes along, it would be wonderful. I would love to do a Japanese film some day.”
