Saiyami Kher is set to make a strong impact in Agni, where she plays a fearless firefighter. To prepare for this groundbreaking role, Kher took inspiration from Harshini Kanhekar, India’s first female firefighter.
Inspiration from Harshini Kanhekar
In an interview, Kher shared how Kanhekar’s story of determination and grit motivated her portrayal. “Her journey showed me that women can break barriers in any field,” said Kher, who was inspired to bring authenticity and depth to her character.
Intense Preparation with Women Firefighters
Kher spent time with over 50 women firefighters, learning about their challenges and resilience. “It was eye-opening to see their strength and how they overcome societal barriers,” she said, reflecting on how their courage shaped her role.
A Tribute to Real-Life Heroes
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Agni is an action-packed film that honors the unsung heroes of the fire department. Kher’s portrayal highlights the contributions of women like Kanhekar, who excel in a male-dominated profession.
Agni, scheduled for release later this year, is set to inspire audiences with Kher’s powerful performance, celebrating the bravery of women firefighters and their dedication to their communities.
