Bollywood Actress Creates History By Completing Ironman Triathlon

After Milind Soman, Saiyami Kher has become the first Indian actress to complete the toughest triathlon in the world: Ironman Race. While she admits not a lot of female stars take up the challenges, she was not chasing this milestone.She was in Berlin to compete in the toughest triathlon in the world: A second race, the Ironman, was conducted in September. Saiyami made it to history books as the first Bollywood female actor to participate, let alone, finish the Ironman 70.3 events which entails swimming 1.9 km, biking for 90 km, and running 21.1 km consecutively without any rest breaks in between.The post-race wake, Saiyami is now enjoying all the sweet compliments coming her way.

As for making history, the actor comment as follows: I was never pursuing that. It just happened. I just know Milind was the actor who did it.  But I am the first actress to do it”. “That is due to our profession, the timings… If you are working in an office, you know your timings are from like 9:00 to 6:00, in night you can train. But when you are an actor, there are days when you can actually get paid for fourteen days of work. From each worker’s point of view, some days there are night shifts, and some days are 14 hours long. Therefore, very much commotion on the body to be , when one is an actor. But she hopes that her achievement could inspire: ʺI’m really proud that I managed to do it with all my schedules,ʺ she said. I do hope that it will encourage other actress to accept this role and live it out. ”Because in the end, it’s not just about   a mere actor… I hope more women do it because the percentage of women doing it is not so much,” says the Ghoomer actor.

Saiyami had to go through rigorous training to do better in the actual race and during the competition she had to improve in cycling, swimming and running. She felt that she had encouraged a number of people to get into the ‘start running’ bandwagon.Saiyami took more than six months training for the triathlon event. Frankly, she doesn’t intend to do it gradually.

The actor isn’t stopping there already looking forward to his next achievement. At the moment, I did screenplay, and I am shooting a film. After this I would like to begin training to do a full marathon first again. I will be doing that next year. That's on the card. I should have improved my timing for the race as this time I was not even bothered about the frequencies at all. Oh simply I just want to complete it and enjoy it. She then concludes the next time she engages in the practice she will ensure she had recorded a better time.
