Bollywood Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who has appeared in over 500 films, has always been admired for his powerful performances. He made his debut in 1984 with Saaransh, playing the role of a 65-year-old man at just 28. But success didn’t come easy. Before fame, he faced many struggles, including financial hardships and humiliating experiences.

In an interview with The Screen, Anupam opened up about one of his toughest times in his life. Back in 1983, he lived in a small room with his mother, brother, and two friends. The rent was ₹2,100, overdue for almost three months. When he couldn’t pay it, the landlord threw their belongings out. “The landlord kept our luggage outside. I remember sleeping on the beach on a newspaper because there was no place to stay,” he recalled.
When He Faced Humiliation During a Film Narration
Anupam also shared another painful memory. A producer once offered him a role with a signing amount but the situation quickly turned degrading.
“He wanted me to act out every line during the narration, if it was raining, I had to pretend it was raining; if there was wind, I had to act like I was being blown away,” Anupam said.
The producer even teased him by placing a bundle of cash next to him, only to pull it away each time he reached for it. “That was the humiliation,” the actor admitted.
