Overview
- This week Anupam Kher told Navika Kumar on Baatein Dil Se that a friendship begun at the Department of Indian Theatre in Chandigarh later became a marriage that has lasted 41 years.
- He recalled meeting Kirron at theatre school where she was a year senior and well known for stage work and sport, a bond that stayed intact as both moved to Mumbai.
- Anupam described early Mumbai struggles with fellow actor Satish Kaushik, including an anecdote about taking taxi fare from Kirron’s home to get through the week.
- The coverage notes Kirron’s earlier marriage to businessman Gautam Berry and their son Sikandar; Times Now reports Anupam 'adopted Sikandar' as his own, a detail the outlets present with differing levels of sourcing.
- Kher said mutual respect and friendship kept the marriage strong and also candidly admitted he sometimes wonders about not having a biological child with Kirron while calling the feeling honest but not tragic.
