EXCLUSIVE: Saiyami Kher on World Health Day, “Nothing works if your health doesn't, not your job, not your relationships”

Today happens to be the World Health Day. It’s a day when awareness about good health is being spread by various key individuals and celebrities. Actress Saiyami Kher also took a moment and spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama as she observes the day.

Saiyami said that World Health Day is “very relevant” for her. “I think health shouldn’t be celebrated just one day a year — it should be a way of life. But if a day like World Health Day helps someone take that first step, then it’s already done its job. For me, health isn’t just about being fit enough to run a marathon or do an Ironman. It’s also mental, emotional well-being. It’s about waking up and feeling energised, it’s about having clarity in your mind and peace in your heart.”

When asked at what stage in her life did she realize that she should give priority to health, Saiyami said, “I think the seed was planted pretty early on. Growing up, sport was part of my daily life. But the moment where I truly understood the value of health was when I entered the industry. Acting is not a 9-to-5 job. The schedules are erratic, the pressure is high, and you’re constantly being watched. I realised quickly that if I didn’t take care of my body and mind, it would reflect in my work. But it wasn’t until I trained for my first Ironman that I really felt the power of health — the discipline, the mental toughness, the calm it gave me. That’s when it stopped being a choice and became my lifestyle.”

In today’s times, it is seen in urban cities that health is taking a backseat, with even youngsters falling prey to serious diseases. Giving a message for people from today’s era, Saiyami said, “I get it. Life is fast, chaotic, and sometimes taking care of yourself feels like one more task on the list. But the truth is — nothing works if your health doesn't. Not your job, not your relationships, not even your passions. We tend to think of health as this huge, unmanageable goal — but it starts small.”

She added, “Take the stairs. Go for a walk without your phone. Breathe. It’s not about looking like an athlete; it’s about respecting the only body you’ve got. My message is start now. However small, just start. Your future self will thank you for it.”

On the work front, Saiyami will be seen in the role of a cop in the upcoming Sunny Deol starrer Jaat, which releases in theatres on April 10.
