The reason behind stealing from his mother will leave you stunned and no, it wasn’t for something luxurious but for the fare of his walk-in-audition. Scroll below to read the scoop.

For those of you who don’t know, Anupam made his Bollywood debut with Saransh in 1984 and has been a part of Bollywood for over three decades now. He has done some incredible work in the Hindi film industry including films like Special 26, Baby, M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and Aiyaary to name a few.

In a conversation with Hindustan Times back in 2018, Anupam Kher recalled how he stole rs 118 from his mother and said, “I was quite mediocre at sports; the only field in which I shone was dramatics. I was studying in Government College, Shimla when I was declared the best actor of Himachal Pradesh University. I had taken admission in the Department of Economics at Himachal Pradesh University when I saw an ad by the Department of Indian Theatre, Panjab University, Chandigarh, inviting students for a walk-in audition, and promising a scholarship of ₹200 to the selected students. I didn’t have the guts to approach my parents for the fare, so I stole a sum of ₹118 my mother had kept in her temple and landed at PU.”
