Had to sleep on railway platform for many days hungry stomach
Born on March 7, 1955 in Shimla, Anupam Kher did not take much interest in studies. Known today for his outspoken speech, Anupam Kher was shy in his childhood. However, instead of studying, he was very fond of acting. After studying acting for 3 years from the National School of Drama, he moved to Mumbai with the dream of success in this field. But where was it easy to get success here? Anupam Khair himself told this to the media that when he came to Mumbai, he had to sleep on the railway platform for a month. Due to lack of money in pocket, many times he had to spend hungry nights. Repeated rejections broke him.
Stole mother’s money and then killed
Anupam Kher says that ‘I took admission in the Department of Economics of Himachal Pradesh University. Meanwhile, I saw an Ed of Indian Theatre, Panjab University Chandigarh, in which students were invited for walk-in auditions. A scholarship of Rs 200 was also promised for the selected students. I did not have money for rent and I did not have the courage to ask my parents for this. That’s why I stole the money. My mother had kept this money in the temple. When I returned home after the audition, I saw that my parents had called the police. When my mother asked me if I had taken money from here, I refused. But, a week later when my father asked me where did you go that day. So I told them the whole truth. On hearing this, my mother gave me a slap. To this my father said don’t worry he is getting a scholarship of Rs 200, from which he will return Rs 100. And that’s how I came to know about my admission.
Played the role of 70 years old at the age of 29
Due to lack of hair on Anupam Kher’s head, no one was ready to give him a role in films. Anupam Kher just needed a chance and he got it at the age of 29 when his first film came to him, Saaransh. Although he did not get this role easily. For this he also had an argument with Mahesh Bhatt. Actually, Anupam Kher was finalized for the summary, but then suddenly there was talk of removing him from this film. Anupam Kher, 29, was to play the role of a retired 70-year-old officer. Mahesh Bhatt had chosen a big actor like Sanjeev Kumar for this role. When Anupam Kher came to know about this, he narrated it a lot to Mahesh Bhatt. Later, Mahesh Bhatt, admitting his mistake, again gave this character to Anupam Kher. Anupam Kher also did not let this opportunity go by hand and came in the eyes of everyone with this same film.
