Saiyami Kher feels people always imagined her in glamorous roles but when Anurag Kashyap offered her the part of a working middle-class mother in Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai, she knew she had landed a good film. Not very confident at first, Saiyami gained what it needed to play the role after a test photoshoot. The actress, who made her Hindi film debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya, said Kashyap selected her for the role of Sarita Pillai soon after their first meeting, but it took her a lot of time to convince the filmmaker to take out time to actually make the film. The actress also said that she hopes makers and producers take her seriously after Choked.
In an exclusive interview with PeepingMoon, Saiyam talked about her Netflix film, equation with director Anurag Kashyap, being replaced in a film and more!
