Saiyami Kher is the only Indian actor to have started the Ironman 70.3 Triathlon twice in a single year after finishing her second one. In Jönköping, Sweden, on July 6, 2025, she finished it. One of the world’s most demanding endurance events, the Ironman 70.3 tests competitors’ ability to complete a 21.1 km half marathon run, 90 km of cycling, and 1.9 km of open water swimming in a single day. “People frequently enquire as to why I subject myself to this form of torment.
In actuality, it has nothing to do with demonstrating anything to the world. I’ve never flourished on approval from others. Endurance sports are very personal to me; they are a race against my own insecurities.
My sole objective for this year was to improve upon my performance from last year. And I accomplished just that,” Saiyami said in a sincere post following the event. “As a woman, it’s also really annoying to do such a physically demanding activity while you’re on your period, but it’s just a reminder that it’s always mind over matter,” she continued. Completing something that seemed unachievable at first gives one a weird, subdued sense of pride.
