Saiyami Kher gets nostalgic after shooting in her college for Faadu - A Love Story: 'I called all my college professors and told them'

Actress Saiyami Kher who got the chance to shoot in her alma mater, St. Xaviers for her upcoming web series Faadu - A Love Story shares that it was one of her dreams to shoot in the beautiful gothic structured building of her college. It was because of the show that her wish finally got fulfilled.

Saiyami will be seen playing the female protagonist, Manjari, in the series. Her character is in love with her classmate Abhay who belongs to a different socio-economic background.

The story of the series revolves around two poets, Manjiri and Abhay, who have very different philosophies in life. Even though they have a lot of differences, they end up falling in love with each other. Little do they know that destiny has different plans for them.

Coincidently, Saiyami's on-screen character is also a student of St Xaviers and that is why the actress got a chance to go back to her college and shoot for the series.

Reminiscing her college days Saiyami got nostalgic and shared, "I did my college in Xaviers for five years and have so many fond memories associated with the college. While I was studying there we used to see shoots happen."

Since then Saiyami always thought that someday when she becomes an actress, she would get a chance to shoot in her college. "So glad that this dream was fulfilled while shooting for Faadu - A Love Story," she added.

According to the actress, a substantial part of the show has been shot in the college and she was so excited about the whole episode that she also called her teachers to share the news with them.

"I called all my college professors and told them. I have returned to college for various reasons but this was the first time I was going to work and it felt so emotional," she said.

The show, Faadu - A Love story, directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and produced by Indranil Chakraborty, also features Pavail Gulati, Deepak Sampat, Abhilash Thapliyal and Neeraj Kashyap, among others. It is set to stream on OTTplay Premium and SonyLiv from December 9.
