Anupam Kher reveals he was a “simple village boy” when he first met Kirron; says, “She had problems in marriage”

Anupam Kher recently told ANI about his encounter with Kirron. He said, “She was a star already then. She was doing theatres, she was working in movies. She is an MA first class first. I met her in Chandigarh. I was a simple village boy. Apparently, there was no connection between us. She was married then and had Sikandar (Kher). We used to be best of friends and we did theatres together. Later when she had problems in marriage, I was ditched by the person I was going with, and then things started to change. But we always remain best friends first.”

Kher also discussed his most significant apprehension and the strategies he utilized to conquer his fear of failure. Anupam asserted, “If you ask me about my biggest fear, it is the fear of losing memory. If you don’t have memory, you have nothing. Dilip Saab (Kumar) lost his memory. He was an amazing person, an amazing storyteller, a person with vast knowledge of many things.”

He has started working on The Vaccine War as well. This is his third collaboration with director Vivek Agnihotri after Buddha In A Traffic Jam and last year’s blockbuster The Kashmir Files.
