"Insane," commented actress Sobhita Dhulipala.

"Bravo," commented actress Dia Mirza.

"Congratulations..amazing stuff," commented Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna. 

This competition is known as one of the toughest endurance races globally. Earlier, Milind Soman had also completed the Ironman triathlon.

Earlier, Saiyami Kher had expressed her concern after her luggage was lost by the airline, while she was travelling to Berlin from Canada.

"Unbelievably frustrated with @Icelandair. My bag with all my Ironman gear is missing. I’ve had zero help from the airport or website. This gear is crucial—I’ve trained in it for months. If it doesn’t arrive soon, I'll have to repurchase everything. Such a pain before my race," she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 

Shabana Azmi and Aditi Rao Hydari had then showed support by sharing Saiyami's post. 

The actress is known for her work in movies like 'Mirzya', 'Choked', '8 AM Metro', 'Ghoomer', and 'Sharmajee Ki Beti'.
