Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who recently opened up about having a child of his own, also spoke at length about his marriage to Kirron Kher. Anupam married Kirron in 1985 a year after his Bollywood debut with ‘Saaransh’. She was previously married to Gautam Berry and had a son, Sikandar Kher, in 1981. Sikandar, who is also an actor took on Anupam’s surname after his mother remarried.
In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Anupam recalled, “I wasn’t married; Kirron was married, and we were best friends for 12 years. She was my senior in college. She was a star—she was first in her class, the best actress, and an India-level badminton player. I moved to Mumbai, and she came to Mumbai after her marriage to Gautam Berry. As strugglers, Satish Kaushik and I would often go to Kirron and Gautam’s house for dinner, and she would give us Rs 50 for a taxi, but we would save that money and travel by bus instead.”
