Anupam Kher reflects on his personal life

During a recent appearance on the Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, Anupam Kher said that he misses having a child of his own with his wife Kirron Kher. He stated that he didn’t feel it that much before, but now sometimes he does feel like it.

"I think in the last seven to eight years. It's not like I am not happy with Sikander, but I think it's a joy to see a child growing up. But it’s okay. It’s not a tragedy in my life. But I sometimes feel it would have been a nice thing," he added.

He further explained that he previously did not sense this void because he was focused on his work. The 69-year0old actor said that after he became 50-55, he started to feel the void.

" It was mostly because Kirron became busy, and so did Sikander. I work with kids in my organisation, The Anupam Kher Foundation. We do a lot of work with children, and sometimes when I see my friends’ children... (I miss having children), but it’s not a sense of loss," the Saraansh actor shared.
