MUMBAI: With almost 340 movies behind him, Anupam Kher is a true veteran of the Hindi film industry. Add to that his years in theatre, and you have a career that borders on the legendary. Find out a little more about the affable Anupam Kher as he chats with Tarana Raja Kapoor on celebrity chat show Let’s Talk. This is on 20 February at 8:00 pm on glamour and entertainment channel Zoom.
 
From humble beginnings to a gold medal at the National School of Drama, Kher speaks about his rise to stardom through the expression that mattered most to him — theatre. He credits his passion for the craft with being able to execute all manner of roles effortlessly.
 
Asked about his contribution to Indian cinema, Kher replies, “I don’t think I have done a great service to mankind, or that the face of Indian cinema has changed because of me. There have been a lot of actors who have done great work and have contributed substantially. The key is to not take oneself seriously.”
 
The conversation heats up when Tarana tries digging up secrets from Anupam’s past. She mentions an episode from his childhood, when he allegedly stole 100 rupees to pay for admission to a drama school in Chandigarh. Kher narrates the incident that eventually led to his being selected by the school.
