One of the greatest Bollywood actors we know Anupam Kher has made a name for himself not just in the Hindi Film industry but also in Hollywood with films like Bend It Like Beckham and The Big Sick, among others. But did you know that the actor was not always this privileged. The actor in a heart wrenching post told his fans how his mother had to sell her jewelry so he could attend school as his father earned only Rs. 90 a month. He came to Mumbai with a mere Rs.37 in his pocket and didn’t tell his mother that he even had to sleep on railway platforms sometimes.

Meanwhile his mother didn’t want to bother her sons either and kept from them that she had to undergo an emergency surgery. Even when film offers started pouring in, Anupam Kher says the only person who kept him grounded and true to his roots was his mother. The actor has given us some incredible performances in films like Saaransh, Karma, Veer-Zaara and Hotel Mumbai, among others.
