In a recent interaction, Bollywood actor Anupam Kher recalled a memorable moment with Shah Rukh Khan on his show, reflecting on the times when actors would interact freely and genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
He also spoke about the industry friends who have stood by him over the years and the strong bond they continue to share.
Anupam Kher agrees to Shah Rukh Khan as ‘last superstar’
In a recent YouTuber podcast with Siddharth Kannan, Anupam Kher, who is promoting his upcoming release Tanvi The Great, became candid about the earlier times in the industry while also mentioning his friends as he said, “Humare rishte bane hai. Na humare pass vanity van hoti thi, na mobile, humare pass rishte hote thee (Our relationships were built genuinely. We didn’t have vanity vans or mobile phones – what we had were real bonds). Mere show pe Shah Rukh Khan ne bola tha ‘I am the last superstar’ and I think what he said was right.”
“The longevity of stardom of Mr Bachchan (Amitabh Bachchan), Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, they will remain forever. I think Mr. Bachchan is the best example of going through a bad time and bouncing back like a giant. Sab log sath me the, sab khade huye (Everybody was there for me, everybody stood by my side),” then he explained the way Anil Kapoor also helped him in his hard times by remembering their endless lunches and dinners together.
