Actress Saiyami Kher, who was the only Indian actor present at the Indian women's cricket team's World Cup victory celebrations, shared her firsthand experience of the historic moment. She witnessed the emotional scenes as players and their families celebrated the triumph. The film Ghoomer, starring Saiyami Kher and Abhishek Bachchan, is being re-released to mark this achievement. Directed by R Balki, the movie originally released in 2023 tells the story of a cricketer overcoming a life-changing disability. Saiyami portrayed a left-handed player who loses her right hand, requiring extensive training to perform with her non-dominant hand. She spoke about the challenges of preparing for the role and her preference for meaningful, author-backed roles over commercial success. The actress emphasized how inspiring young audiences and making a real difference matters more than box office numbers. The film re-releases on 7 November.
Emotional Scenes at World Cup Victory and Ghoomer Re-Release
Saiyami Kher attended the post-match celebration at the stadium and spoke with several players. She recalled that none of them had fully processed the victory yet. Families remained calm during the finals but became emotional once the trophy was lifted. Saiyami was particularly moved watching veterans like Jhulan Goswami and Mithali Raj overcome with emotion. She noted the significance of seeing a packed stadium with grown men weeping as Indian women won, reflecting how far the country has progressed. The re-release of Ghoomer on 7 November celebrates women's triumph both on and off the field. The film, inspired by Hungarian shooter Károly Takács, follows a cricketer overcoming disability to pursue her passion for cricket.
