Mumbai, May 13 (IANS): Actress Saiyami Kher, who is gearing up for her upcoming film ‘Agni’, has shared that she likes to do roles that challenge her and push her out of her comfort zone.

In ‘Agni’, she portrays the character of a firefighter.

The actress, who is known for 'Mirzya', 'Ghoomer', 'Special OPS', and 'Breathe', expressed her contentment with being recognised as an actor capable of handling rugged and challenging roles in Bollywood.

Elaborating on the subject, she said: "I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I've had to portray strong characters in the work I have done so far. It's immensely fulfilling to be recognised for my ability to take on roles that push me out of my comfort zone and demand physical and emotional dedication. I've always been drawn to roles that demand everything from me because, in return, they give me so much. My attempt has always been to lose myself in the character."

"So when someone says, ‘Oh, the ‘Ghoomer girl’ is the same girl from ‘Choked?’ I take it as a compliment because, as an actor, it feels great not to find the same person in every character. My journey as an actor has been one of constant learning, growth, and I am grateful for every opportunity to challenge myself and inspire and touch people’s lives. Acting is a very powerful medium. So when people come back and say your film inspired me, taught me, or moved me, I feel it’s a big success for me," she added.
