I have always followed Anupam Kher's films, performances, and even his interviews. There's a certain joy to watch a fine actor explaining his success and struggles. In an interview that happened a few years ago, Kher talked about how he came to Bombay on June 3, 1981, after graduating from the National School of Drama and bagged his first role after three years of struggle.
The journey wasn't easy, but he had to succeed as he took the road less travelled, or maybe never taken. He made his debut with Saaransh in 1984, a drama about the life of an ageing couple after their son's death, and how they strive to survive and deal with the brutality of life. Kher was 28 when he played the role of a 65-year old B.V. Pradhan. He nearly lost the role to Sanjeev Kumar, and this is why all his anger and pain in his performance felt real.
