Saiyami Kher, the new replacement girl
She is replacing Alia Bhatt in Rajshree Ojha’s period drama co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Saiyami Kher, who made her debut in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Miryza, is fast becoming known as the replacement girl in B-Town. Says a source, “She is replacing Alia Bhatt in Rajshree Ojha’s period drama co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Alia was playing a Kashmiri girl in the film, but had to opt out because of date issues. Prior to this, Saiyami replaced Kriti Sanon in Nikhil Advani’s Lucknow Central co-starring Farhan Akhtar. For Saiyami, being known as the replacement girl does not matter as these are good banners with meaty roles.” Sensible girl.
