"Its like the society you're living in is accepting the way you are, but you dont fit the norms set by the industry," said Saiyami Kher
Earlier this week, Saiyami Kher created a stir across social media by revealing her first look as a differently-abled sportsperson from the film Ghoomer co-starring Abhishek Bachchan. Now, in a recent interview with the Hindustan Times, the Choked star has made some shocking revelations about the challenges of living up to the beauty standards in Bollywood. Talking to Hindustan Times, Saiyami Kher recalled her early days in the industry when she was advised to go under the knife. Elaborating on her plight, Saiyami said, "When I was starting, there were a lot of people who said I should get a lip job and even a nose job done, which I think is very wrong advice to give to an 18-year-old. It's like the society you're living in is cooperating and accepting the way you are, but you don't fit the norms set by the industry.”
Reflecting on what she went through when she first stepped foot in the world of movies, Saiyami Kher noted, "These norms didn't bother me, but I hope they completely disappear from our industry. we need to accept diversity in showbiz.”
Saiyami, who made her debut in the film Mirzya opposite Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan Kapoor, told Hindustan Times that she was however fortunate to have her family and friends around in those early days, which helped her navigate through the challenges with ease. She said, "They are the only ones whose opinion matters. Positive criticism is great as it improves you in a better way, but I was very fortunate to have them around me as they embraced and supported me.”
