Exhausting but fulfilling is how Saiyami Kher would describe her last few weeks. The actor, who recently returned from Melbourne after the première of her movie Pal Bhar Ke Liye, has jumped straight into the promotions for her next, Haiwaan. That's not all - she is juggling it with the prep for the Ironman 70.3, which will take place on September 20 in Italy.

About promoting the Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan-led thriller, Kher said, "Getting into the Haiwaan promotions with Akshay sir and Saif sir has been exciting. It's a packed schedule, but one that I'm enjoying."

Simultaneously, the actor is preparing for the Half Ironman, which marks her third time as a participant. That means long days for Kher, but she is not complaining. "I've been particular about staying consistent with my training. Sometimes it means waking up early, other times it means finding time after a long day, but I don't want to make my work an excuse to compromise on something I've committed to. Training for a Half Ironman requires discipline because you have to keep showing up."
