Following the screening, Sachin expressed a want to witness Saiyami’s experience within the artwork of Ghoomer bowling.
Saiyami willingly acceded to his request, rendering Sachin momentarily speechless together with her demonstration. Impressed by her portrayal, Sachin lauded Saiyami’s genuine portrayal within the film, attributing it to her real ardour for cricket and her outstanding grasp of her character’s nuances.
Saiyami posted the video on social media, saying, “What’s the one dream you had as a child that you never thought could never come true? Mine was that someday, I would get to meet my hero, my inspiration, my teacher. I have loved and learnt this game watching him play. I’ve bunked college to watch him play.”
She mentioned that she had the loudest “Sachinnn Sachhhin” chant within the North Stand.
“So, I can’t seem to explain what this means to me. His 136 at Chennai, the Sharjah Storm, 241 at Sydney, 98 vs Pakistan, the list is endless. He gave me joy, he taught me how to fight, he taught me passion, how to never give up, how to work hard, and how to stay grounded,” Saiyami added.
The actress mentioned: “Unknowingly, he taught me how to live. When I began acting, my friends ragged me and said, ‘Ja ja, acting kar. Someday Sachin will watch your film’. And that became my goal. To work hard and hope that someday the Master will watch my work.”
“And then, it happened, the God of Cricket saw a film in which I play a cricketer. The God of Cricket asked me to show him how I bowled the Ghoomer. Dreams really do come true. This. This part of my life is called happiness,” she added.
The movie is directed by R. Balki and in addition stars Abhishek Bachchan.
