Harshavardhan Kapoor n Saiyami Kher in Rakyesh Omprakash Sahiba Mirza

Post the super-success of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, director Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra is rolling up his sleeves for Mirza Sahiba -- an epic love story. The director has already zeroed in on Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan Kapoor as his Mirza. But the hunt is on for Sahiba.

The name that has cropped up as the probable Sahiba is of the model Saiyami Kher. The sexy lassie, who has earlier scorched the pages of Kingfisher Calendar, is said to be one of the two actresses to have been shortlisted for the movie.

"He chose Harshvardhan because he has the fierce intensity of a lover in him combined with an innocent softness in his eyes. As far as the actress is concerned, two names have been shortlisted. Saiyami Kher is one of them," a source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

Saiyami Kher doesn't come from a non-filmy background, and was waiting for a right film to come her way. She is the granddaughter of veteran actress Usha Kiran, and actresses Tanvi Azmi and Shabana Azmi are her aunts (maasis). Thus, acting runs right in her veins, while her mother Uttara, Miss India 1982, was a model.

As for now, the actress is waiting for the release of her debut Telugu film Rey starring Sai Dharam Tej, Ram Charan Teja's cousin.

Check out a few stills of Saiyami Kher and tell us will she make a beautiful Sahiba opposite Harshvardhan Kapoor?

Paternal aunts are also called "maasi"?

Btw, Tanvi is Saiyami's aunt; Shabana isn't.

One more stupid star kid forced on audience

Google says Tanvi Azmi is this new girl's paternal aunt. Why are they saying Tanvi is her maasi?

Maybe Meenayama wrote this 😆
but
Maasi = Mother's Sister=Maternal Aunt
🤓

Hopefully he's a lot more impressive as an actor than his sister. Even if he isn't I suppose it won't make a difference. His dad will make sure he keeps getting movies anyways. That's why Sonam's still around 😕.

If there is a male star kid from the AK/BK families I'd rather it be Arjun. Sonam has the saving grace of wearing pretty clothes. There is something called family over saturation and sadly for this guy it is him. Can his sister go if he is good ?
