While his wife, Kirron Kher, is a politician and a member of Lok Sabha, the actor never joined any political party. In a recent interaction, Anupam called himself an ‘India-centric’ and said that people think it’s a political issue if he speaks his mind while mentioning Dev Anand Sahab and Vijay Anand Sahab for supporting a particular ideology.

Anupam is one of the most popular actors of the yesteryears who is still doing impactful work in Hindi cinema. In 2022, he appeared in Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Kashmir Files’ and played an essential role of a Kashmiri Pandit named ‘Pushkar Nath Pandit’ and got critically acclaimed for his character.

Now, speaking to Smita Prakash on ANI’s podcast, Anupam Kher said, “Whenever there’s an issue happening and if I talk my mind out, people think that it’s a political issue. Ideologically I am an Indian and my first interest is India. Now if the present government thinks more about India then automatically I can be associated with them. But, if I wanted to join a political party I would have joined it.”
