Anupam Kher: Acting's Brave Vulnerability

Veteran actor Anupam Kher has shared insights into his transformation as a performer over the years. He highlights that acting inherently involves confronting and exposing emotions that people typically conceal, a process he deems brave. Kher explained that fame and wealth are insufficient for authentic performances when the camera rolls; craft and a profound emotional depth are essential.

Kher credited his training at the National School of Drama for providing the confidence to enter the film industry without industry connections. However, his approach has significantly evolved over the past decade. He now finds greater satisfaction in exploring a character's nuances, contradictions, and vulnerabilities rather than feeling the need to impress or prove his capabilities.
