Mumbai, June 4
As he completed 44 years in Mumbai, veteran actor-filmmaker Anupam Kher tagged himself fortunate despite a journey filled with ups and downs. He also credited the city for making him what he is today.
Anupam shared a video of himself on Instagram and talked about the fun-filled journey he has had in Mumbai and captioned it in Hindi: “Aaj mujhe Mumbai aaye 44 saal ho gaye! Dhanyavaad mere pyaare Mumbai sheher, in utaar-chadhaav se bhare, lekin bahut hi khoobsurat aur saarthak saalon ke liye! Aage bhi mera khayal rakhna! Jai Ho! “(Today marks 44 years since I came to Mumbai!)
“(Thank you, my beloved city of Mumbai, for these years filled with ups and downs — yet so beautiful and meaningful! Continue to watch over me in the years ahead! Jai Ho!)”
In the clip, the actor, who is seen dressed in an olive green T-shirt, talked about his journey, which he said was “filled with highs, sometimes scattered, gathered, moments of enthusiasm, and discouragement.”
He was heard saying in Hindi: “Today is 3rd June, 2025, and 44 years ago, on 3rd June, 1981, I came to Mumbai. I didn’t realize how these 44 years passed by. It has been a journey full of ups and downs, as life should be... filled with highs, sometimes scattered, sometimes gathered, moments of enthusiasm, and moments of discouragement.”
