As an ardent fan of Saiyami Kher, it’s been awe-inspiring to witness her relentless spirit and determination. Her journey from the silver screen to the Ironman race is nothing short of inspiring. However, the recent mishap with her lost bag containing all her essential gear for the race is indeed disheartening.


Saiyami Kher isn’t just a fantastic actress; she has a deep affection for sports too. This passion led her to take up the daunting Ironman challenge. For months, she’s been diligently preparing for this event, scheduled on September 15 in Berlin. But just before the race, a mishap occurred – she misplaced her entire Ironman equipment. Taking to social media to express her disappointment, she called out the airline for their careless handling of her belongings. Later, it was the veteran actress herself who criticized the airline for such negligence.

9th of September, Saiyami Kher expressed her frustration on a platform once known as Twitter, stating that despite losing a bag containing essential equipment for a race, Icelandair has yet to offer assistance. In simpler terms, Saiyami tweeted, “I’m incredibly annoyed with @Icelandair. My Ironman gear-filled bag is missing. Not a single bit of help from the airport or website. This equipment is vital—I’ve been preparing in it for months. If it doesn’t show up soon, I’ll have to buy everything again. Such a headache before my race.
