Anupam Kher on wife Kirron’s cancer treatment, his upcoming release Signature

Life often mirrors art. Veteran actor Anupam Kher, while promoting his upcoming release Signature, shared with us how certain scenes from the film resonated with him because of his partner and actor Kirron Kher’s cancer journey.
Anupam told India Today Digital, “During the shoot of this film, there were certain scenes that I enacted which I identified with at a personal level. My wife, Kirron, was unwell and was undergoing cancer treatment, so bringing out those emotions on celluloid came from that experience. I feel it’s the culmination of my personal life situations that helped me play this part efficiently.”

Further recalling his wife’s cancer treatment, Anupam shared, “Kirron too got herself treated in Mumbai itself. We have some amazing doctors in our country and just the way Mahima advised Hina Khan to get treated in our own country, it is something that I strongly advocate for too. It’s also because I remember meeting with Rishi Kapoor when he was unwell. For one year, Chintu ji was in America and when we met, he expressed how difficult it was for him to get treated away from his house and the rest of the family members. Mr Anil Ambani also sent his aircraft to bring Kirron back and got her treated here in India. It’s something that I highly appreciate because it’s so compassionate,” he signed off.
Signature will premiere on October 4 on Zee5.
