Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher described his recent visit to the Tirupati Balaji temple as a “blissful experience,” saying the glory of India’s pilgrimage sites is truly remarkable.
Anupam took to Instagram to share a video of himself speaking to the media about his visit.
He captioned the post: “Tirupati Balaji ke darshan karke bahut sukhad anubhuti hui. Hamare desh ke teerth sthanon ki mahima adbhut hai!” (After having the darshan of Tirupati Balaji, I experienced a blissful feeling. The glory of our country’s pilgrimage sites is truly remarkable.)
Anupam added: “Bahut saalon baad aaya tha to Tirupati se Tirumala ki har kshetra mein pragati bemisaal hai! Aap sab ke liye bhi prarthana ki! Jai Balaji!” (I visited after many years, and the progress in every sphere from Tirupati to Tirumala is extraordinary! I also prayed for all of you! Jai Balaji!)
On the work front
The actor’s film Tanvi The Great is back in theatres. In a recent video, Anupam spoke about second chances, recalling how he was almost replaced by Sanjeev Kumar in Mahesh Bhatt’s Saaransh just 10 days before the shoot.
He shared that he fought to reclaim the role and went on to build a career spanning over 500 films. “Second chances matter,” Anupam said, adding that the re-release of Tanvi The Great is an opportunity for audiences to rediscover its message of courage, hope and inspiration.
The film stars Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, Boman Irani, Pallavi Joshi, Karan Tacker, Nasser, with Anupam Kher and Iain Glen. Music is by Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravani, with sound design by Resul Pookutty and cinematography by Keiko Nakahara.
The story follows a 21-year-old woman on the autism spectrum who, inspired by her late father Captain Samar Raina, dreams of saluting the flag at Siachen Glacier.
