On sidelines of IIFA, Anupam Kher reflects on over 500 film-strong career

Hindustan Times  

He has been in the industry for over three decades and has appeared in over 500 films. Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who started his journey in the north Indian hill town of Shimla and later paved the way for Indian actors internationally, says it is a great achievement for him to showcase his work without a godfather or a film background. “Not only as an actor but also as somebody who comes from a small town where god, the country and the industry has given me an opportunity to showcase my work without having any godfather or film background.” Anupam, 63, made his debut in 1984 with Saaransh and was later seen in films like Chaalbaaz, Lamhe, Khel, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Daddy and Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara. Alongside working in Hindi films, he has also appeared in many acclaimed international movies such as Bend It Like Beckham, Lust, Caution and David O Russell’s Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook. The veteran star will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 19th edition of the International Indian Film Academy Weekend and Awards on Sunday.
