Bollywood actress and athlete Saiyami Kher has added another milestone to her journey, as she was named as the offices face for Ironman India.
This recognition comes just after the actress successfully completed the Ironman 70.3 triathlon twice just with a span of less than a year, which was an extraordinary achievement that made her the only Indian actor to do so.
The actress competed her first Ironman 70.3 in September 2024 and the second in July 2025, showing her incredible discipline and passion for fitness.
The Ironman 70.3 also known as the Half Ironman is the most demanding endurance races. The number 70.3 represents that total distance covered by the contestants (in miles) which is 1.9 km of a swimming, 90km of cycling and 21.1 km of running with all completed consecutively on the same day.
Saiyami’s consistency and spirit have inspired many people, leading the Ironman International Committee to officially appoint her as the face of the Ironman India edition, which in itself is an honor reserved for individual who truly shows the spirit of strength and perseverance.
The actress while expressing her gratitude and excitement said, “I’m truly honored and excited to be the face of Ironman India, which takes place in Goa on the 9th of November. This journey represents everything I believe in passion, consistency, and the refusal to give up. Completing the Ironman 70.3 twice in less than a year wasn’t about chasing records; it was about challenging my own limits. Every swim stroke, every uphill ride, every step of the run reminded me of how much the human body and mind are capable of.”
