It was in the 90s when critically-acclaimed actor, Anupam Kher decided to stun the entire film industry on the occasion of April Fool’s Day. The actor collaborated with a famous film magazine and posed as the late legendary actress, Sridevi’s sister. As soon as the edition was published and made its way out to the public on April 1, it left everyone in surprise and split, as people couldn’t believe that it was Anupam Kher.

However, when the publishers unfolded the truth, it left everyone in immense laughter, and the actor was hailed for how he carried his look and posed like a glamorous diva in the photoshoot.

When Anupam Kher went bankrupt at the beginning of his career in the film industry

The iconic actor, Anupam Kher is indeed one of the biggest names in the Hindi film industry. However, things weren't the same as they have been in recent years for him. There was a time when Anupam Kher went bankrupt back in 2004. Once in an interview with the Hindustan Times, he shared how he failed to understand the complexities of finance in life. Sharing how he miserably failed to manage his earnings, Anupam added that he was never a business-minded person and could not understand financial management back in time.

However, courtesy of his acting talent, when Anupam Kher couldn’t get much work in Bollywood, he went to Hollywood and worked in an American series that played a big part in rejuvenating his career. At the age of 68 (in 2023), Anupam still has a lot of big-budget movie offers on his table, which clearly speaks to the kind of mark he has already engraved in the history of Hindi cinema.
