TIL Desk Bollywood/ “Mirzya” actress Saiyami Kher, a sports and fitness enthusiast, says she finds actor Akshay Kumar inspirational.
While fitness is a way of life for Saiyami, who has played badminton and cricket professionally, she says it’s not necessarily a decisive factor for a career as an actor in the entertainment industry.
“Looks and glamour are one part of the entertainment industry, but if you have a six-pack, it doesn’t mean that you’re a good actor. If you are doing an action film, you will need to physically look like an action hero. That’s when the physicality comes in; but to be an actor, body type is not important.
“What’s important is how you act and if the character requires you to have a particular kind of a body, then one has to work on that,” Saiyami told.
