Actor Anupam Kher turned 68 today. He has been a part of the film industry for nearly four decades now. He made his film debut in 1984 with Mahesh Bhatt's directorial 'Saaransh'. In the film, he portrayed a 65-year-old retired class teacher who loses his son. 

But did you know that the actor suffered from facial paralysis in 1994? The actor was shooting for director Sooraj Barjatay's film 'Hum Aapke Hai Koun'. The film also starred Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Bindu, among others. Despite facial paralysis, Kher shot for the film and eventually defeated the paralysis. He was advised by the doctors to rest for two months. But since he had committed to shooting, he went ahead with it.
