In a candid chat with the popular Instagram page Humans Of Bombay, Anupam Kher spoke about his relationship with his mum, how she played an intrinsic part in his growing up days, and how it was the values she taught him that helped him survive in the city of dreams.
Kher shared, "I have vivid memories of Mom dropping me to school. Before leaving, she'd say, 'Your best day is today.' And as a kid, I believed it. It helped me dream made me forget how poor we were. Papa only made 90 Rs. a month, so Mom had to sell her jewellery to put us into good schools."
Speaking about coming to Mumbai with only Rs 37 in his pocket and dreams of becoming an actor, Anupam Kher said, "Her values were all I had when I came to Mumbai to be an actor with 37 Rs. At times I'd sleep on the platform, but never told her and when Mom fell sick, she didn't tell me we both tried to protect each other. And after I started doing films, Mom kept me grounded, 'No matter how high you fly, always be humble'."
