Saiyami is now the only Indian actress to complete the race, which consists of 1.9 km swimming, 90 km cycling and 21.1 km running.

Saiyami said: "Crossing the finish line of Ironman 70.3 and getting that medal is one of the proudest moments of my life. It's been on my bucket list forever, and I'm so happy I finally did it." It was tough to shoot for an Ironman for 12 to 14 hours.

The actress confessed that there were days when inspiration was nowhere to be found.

“And it really felt like a battle with myself. No one else could have put in those hours; It was all on me. Through all the ups and downs – missed flights, lost luggage, and everything else – I made it through. This race is about losing your way and ultimately finding your way.”

She says that she is happy that she was successful in it.

“Not just for the finale but for the journey that got me here. It showed me the power of determination and how if you set your mind to something no one can stop you. I will keep this moment with me forever! I want to be a long-haul horse, not only in endurance sports but also in my acting career,” she said.

On the work front, Saiyami was recently seen in 'Sharmaji Ki Beti' directed by Tahira Kashyap.

She will next be seen with Sunny Deol. Saiyami will be seen in the tentatively titled 'SGDM' from Telugu filmmaker Gopichand Malineni, who has previously shown his talent in films like 'Don Seenu', 'Balupu', 'Pandaga Chesko', 'Vijeta', 'Bodyguard' and ' . Crack'.

The film has been given the title of "the country's biggest action film".
