Veteran actor Kirron Kher has never shied away from sharing her opinions, and she has always been quite candid about them. During a recent interaction, Kirron shared how she would bluntly tell her husband, veteran actor Anupam Kher, if she didn’t like any of his films. She also spoke about the advice she gives her son, Sikandar, on not being as selective with his projects as she has been in her career.

Speaking to CNN-News18, she said, “I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. I am rather blunt about that. My husband feels bad about it. He has done so many films. Some of them are good, some aren’t, so I can’t appreciate every film of his. I’m a dangerous woman to take to film trials because it is obvious when I don’t like a film. It shows on my face.” Kirron then went on to admit that she didn’t like Sikandar’s performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s film Milan Talkies.
She also shared that she advises her son to be more like Anupam Kher, who wasn’t choosy with his projects, as he had to take care of the household. She said, “I usually like Sikandar’s work. He is very particular about his projects. I tell him not to be like me but to be more like Anupam. Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. He had to help relatives, his brother and everyone. Sikandar is a laat saheb (entitled) and he thinks like me but things don’t work that way. Aapko bhi kaam karna padega vaise jaise Papa ne kia (He also has to work like his father did).” She added, “I had the luxury of choice, I didn’t have to run the house, it was Anupam’s responsibility. So I could choose what I want to do but if Sikandar also starts doing this then problem will occur.”
Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher got married on August 26, 1985. Sikandar is Kirron’s son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry. After her divorce from Gautam, she married Anupam in 1985. The two never had children together.
During a recent chat on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Anupam shared that feels a “void” for not having his own children. When asked for the reason behind the same, he shared that Kirron “could not conceive.” “Kirron could not conceive it and then once she conceived, she had to.. sort of… it was not growing in the right manner,” he said and added that he too, was busy with his career. “I was too busy making it big. I was too busy aur Sikandar acha… acha hai Sikander mere liye (Sikander is still fine for me). He was 4 when he came into my life, when I married Kirron so I never felt anything missing,” he said.
