Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher embarked on a monumental cinematic milestone, commencing the shoot for his 550th film, titled 'Khosla Ka Ghosla 2'. On this significant occasion, the actor took a reflective pause to look back at his extraordinary and demanding journey in the film industry, which began over four decades ago.
A Landmark Achievement and a Heart Full of Gratitude
Marking the first day of shooting in Delhi, Kher expressed profound thankfulness. He reminisced about his arrival in Mumbai on 3rd June 1981, a young man armed with nothing but dreams. The actor shared his emotions on social media, stating that he never imagined reaching the landmark of 550 films when he first set foot in the city of dreams. His heart, he wrote, was overflowing with gratitude and thankfulness for this achievement.
The 'Marathon Man' and the 'Interval' Point
Kher also recalled a memorable interaction at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Upon revealing the staggering number of films in his filmography to an international director, he was dubbed the "MARATHON MAN of Indian Cinema". Despite this colossal body of work, Kher humbly asserted that he has only reached the 'interval point' of his life and career. He emphasized that dreams have no expiry date and that he still possesses an immense reservoir of talent and dedication to offer, with much more left to accomplish.
The Pillars of His Longevity
Reflecting on the secrets behind his enduring career, the actor highlighted his personal strengths. His optimism, a never-give-up attitude, and an unwavering capacity for hard work have been his biggest assets, he claimed. However, Kher was quick to credit the immense support system that has sustained him through the years.
He extended a heartfelt thank you to all the producers, directors, co-actors, and technicians he has collaborated with. Most importantly, he expressed deep gratitude to the audience, acknowledging that without their unwavering support and love, this remarkable milestone would never have been possible. He concluded his message with patriotic and spiritual salutations, "Jai Ho! Jai Hind! Om Namah Shivay!".
As Anupam Kher dives into this new chapter with 'Khosla Ka Ghosla 2', his journey stands as a towering testament to resilience, passion, and an enduring love for the art of cinema.
