Actor and avid cyclist Saiyami Kher has reiterated that measures to safeguard the interests of cyclists must be taken. Highlighting that outdoor training is a preferred form of exercise for many, she said: “The entire city is dug up, which has made it difficult for cyclists to navigate. This should be addressed.” The actor asserted that every “city should have infrastructure for open-air fitness options, of which cycling is a major one”. “The current conditions aren’t conducive for anyone to take to health and fitness [exercises] in open spaces in Mumbai, given the current scenario.” Speaking to mid-day about her fitness routine, Kher said she is someone who “runs and cycles a lot”. She adds, “So, there’s a lot of cardiovascular [work] in my regimen. But, I’ve 
been working on my flexibility, and strength, which reduces with age. So, I’ve been doing yoga and mobility work, which I used to [ignore] when I was younger. I’m doing this to remain injury-free.”
