Anupam Kher has been doling out massive nostalgia on social media. Today the actor pulled out one of his clicks from 80s for
Instagram, a special photo that he had got clicked for
fan mail
. “This is in the early 80’s when I must have acted in not more than 7 to 8 films. I had just started my career as an actor. I had a fantasy of sending my autographed pics to my possible fans like big stars did.”
The veteran actor went on to reveal how he approached a celebrated photographer, “And I wanted the
photograph
to be clicked only by the ace photographer of those days #GautamRajadhyaksha. He was a star himself and very expensive. All top actors were his clients. I somehow reached out to him and explained to him what I wanted. He asked me do I even get fan mail? I said not really but it may start soon. He was amused at my optimism. He obliged and did not charge me a single penny. But he added, “Don’t ever change as a person with success.” Later we became friends. I was happy to feature in his coffee table book on actors. He is in a better world now. But for the coming so many years this was the only autographed pic I will send to my fans. Sometimes I do miss the 80’s for so many reasons.”
Anupam Kher recently launched his website on the occasion of having completed 39 years in the film industry.
