Talking about his struggles and subsequent success in Hindi films, Anupam Kher has often spoken about coming to Mumbai, sleeping at railway platforms, landing a role in Mahesh Bhatt's 'Saaransh' and (almost) losing it. His fate and furore made him one of the most iconic actors as years followed by.
May 25 marks the day when his first film released, the aforementioned Bhatt directorial, and it completes 37 years today. That means Kher also competes 37 glorious years in Hindi Cinema. He penned a note on his achievement and also expressed his excitement.
He wrote- "Even today when I see my name in the opening titles of my first film #Saaransh as introducing #AnupamKher I get choked with emotions. Can't believe that tomorrow, 25th I will complete 37 years in cinema. Wah! God has really been kind!! #1DayToGo for my 37th birthday in movies! More tomorrow!" [SIC]
