The trailer of filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s upcoming Sony LIV web-series Faadu – A Love Story, which was recently out, had a favourable response from the audience. The show stars Pavail Gulati and Saiyami Kher in lead roles. Saiyami was over the moon when the team decided to shoot a significant portion of the show at her alma mater St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai.
While getting nostalgic about her college, Saiyami said in a statement, “I did my college in Xavier’s for 5 years and have so many fond memories associated with the college. While I was studying there, after college we used to see shoots happen. I used to feel, ‘Oh someday when I get a break and start acting.’ It will be a dream to come back here and shoot. So glad that this dream was fulfilled while shooting for Faadu.”
Elaborating further, she added, “There was a part in the series which we shot at St Xavier’s College. I have stories from every corner of the building and I remember getting so excited that I was finally shooting in Xavier’s that 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.”
Faadu tells the story of a man (Pavail) who would stop at nothing to fulfil his dreams. But later on, he is seen battling for his life in a hospital. Saiyami plays his girlfriend and, later, wife.
