Veteran and legendary actor-filmmaker Anupam Kher, who is gearing up for the release of Netflix’s Vijay 69, admitted that he missed having his own child with wife Kirron Kher.
Anupam, who tied the knot with actress Kirron Kher in 1985, has a stepson Sikander Kher, who is also an actor.
“I didn’t feel it that much before, but now sometimes I do feel like it. I think in the last seven-eight years. Its not like, I am not happy with Sikander, but I think its a joy to see a child growing up. Its a joy to see bonding and this is an honest answer to you. I could have avoided to answer this, but I don’t want to do that. But, it’s okay. It’s not a tragedy in my life. But, I sometimes feel it would have been a nice thing,” Anupam said to Shubhankar Mishra, when asked if he misses having a child of his own.
As an actor I’m continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. ...!! Guess the film!! First three correct guesses will get my signed auto biography- LESSONS LIFE TAUGHT ME UNKNOWINGLY!:) pic.twitter.com/xsEoB8yzGh

He added, “All this while I was extremely busy working, but after I hit 50-55, I started to feel the void. It was mostly because Kirron became busy, and so did Sikander. I work with kids in my organisation: The Anupam Kher Foundation. We do a lot of work with children, and sometimes when I see my friends’ children and things like that… (I miss having children) but, it’s not a sense of loss.
Anupam Kher was previously married to actress Madhumati Kapoor, while Kirron was married to Gautam Berry.
The actor will be next seen in Netflix’s Vijay 69, which will premiere on November 8. It also stars Chunky Panday and Mihir Ahuja in prominent roles.
