"I live in a rented apartment, because I decided I don't want to own a house. Kiske liye? Pay the rent every month and live. The money that you will buy a house for, keep it in your bank account and use that to pay your rent instead."

Anupam Kher also added that he would prefer to give the money to charity and do something productive with it. He wants to create a legacy and do something that makes people remember him. 

Anupam Kher gifted an eight-bedroom apartment to his mother in Shimla

In the same interview, Anupam Kher revealed that he had not purchased a home for himself, but he had gifted an eight-bedroom apartment to his mother in Shimla. He added that his mother's wish was to own a house in Shimla, rather than living in a rented place. However, she only wanted a simple two-bedroom apartment, but he got her a lavish one. He was quoted as saying:

"I was teasing her seven years ago, saying that I am a big star, and she can tell me what she wishes to have. I thought she would say, 'Nahi, kuch nahi', but she instantly said, 'I want a house in Shimla'. I asked her why because we didn't live there after my father's death, but she lived in a rented house all her life there, hence wanted one of her own."
