Recently, Anupam’s acting institute ‘Actor Prepares’ completed 20 years since its inception. He called it the ‘biggest achievement’ of his life yet.
Based in Mumbai, ‘Actor Prepares’ is an acting institute which was established by actor Anupam Kher in 2005. Actress Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Varun Dhawan are some of the many notable alumni of this school.
In an interaction with ANI, the ‘Saaransh’ actor called his acting institute his ‘biggest trophy’ in life yet despite working in over 500 films in his acting career.
“In these 20 years, my biggest achievement which I believe is my acting school. I have done over 500 films. In some, I did good work while some were medium. But when I meet people in events or programmes and a student approaches me and says ‘I am your student from the 2008 batch or so’ then I feel that no trophy can be bigger than this.” said Anupam.
Anupam Kher was last seen in the Kangana Ranaut directorial ‘Emergency’ which delved into the Emergency, that was imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for 21 months from 1975 to 1977, and its aftermath. (ANI)
