Mumbai: As tension between India and Pakistan, veteran actor Anupam Kher shared an emotional video, revealing why he felt “heavy” before going for an international journey. Despite starting an exciting new chapter with his upcoming film Tanvi The Great, Kher admitted that his heart felt uncomfortable – a feeling not in personal anxiety, but in his deep relationship for his country.
To take to the Instagram handle, Kher wrote to him, “The country is the only one that can make you feel strong! In the same way! My mind was a little heavy, so I thought I should talk to people with my heart. Any special reason to make this video.
I was packing my luggage and I am going abroad tomorrow. I was feeling a little heavy. I was not enjoying it. The thing I am going for is exciting. Tanvi The Great is starting a new beginning. Therefore, I should be very exciting. It should be very exciting for me.
I should be very excited. But I was thinking, what’s happening? Then I thought, maybe I read some comments on social media in the morning. I did not enjoy it. So I was feeling sad. Then I thought about my life.
Whenever I feel heavy, I think of my life. Then I think, where did I start and where have I reached? Then I feel good. “In a video of more than eight minutes, the actor reflects his journey and his unwavering bond with India. This gives me strength. I realized that I am only eight years younger than my country. India was born on August 15, 1947 and I was born on 7 March 1955.
We have grown together – like siblings. “He reminded of the wars facing India – 1962, 1965 and 1971 – and his childhood in Shimla had influence on his childhood.
I feel personal every bliss and sorrow of this nation. How deep I am connected to India. “Kher talked about patriotism, emphasizing that his love for the country is not about fairness. I don’t think in English – I think in Hindi. So when someone criticizes India, I am not angry anymore; I am hurting. I am not sad for India. I am sad for people who speak bad about it.”
The 70 -year -old actor also talked about his early struggles. “I came to my pocket with Rs 37 in this city 43 years ago. Today, I have completed 545 films. I live in a rented house, but I have a car, a bungalow, and, above all, I have my mother. I was given all this? This country did all this?
Of course, we work hard, but this is the land that makes our dreams possible. “Anupam concluded remembering Indian soldiers and their families. Their families have suffered an irreparable loss. When you think about their pain, your own grief starts to get smaller.”
