Considered among the most challenging endurance races in the world, it includes a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bicycle ride, and a 13.1 mile run. Does she feel ready for it? Kher says she has been training rigorously for the past six months, and ensured that she adhered to her prep during the shoot of the actioner in Hyderabad. “Preparing for the Ironman while filming wasn’t easy, but I’m grateful for all the support I received on set. I had carried my cycle and would train for an hour before and after the shoot. It’s not just about finding time, it’s about making the time. There were days on set with Sunny sir, when the heat was relentless, dust was everywhere, we had long hours and were surrounded by the high-stakes energy of action scenes and explosions. In between takes, I’d sneak in a quick run or do my cycling sessions late at night after wrapping up.”
The actor believes that juggling the shoot and training has taught her discipline and resilience. “No matter how hectic the day, I stayed committed because I’m driven by the challenge of pushing my boundaries and proving to myself that I can handle it all.”
