In an interview with an Indian media outlet, Bollywood actor Anupam Kher opened up about the beginnings of his love story with his wife, Kirron Kher.
Anupam shared that they were best friends for many years before they eventually fell in love and got married in 1985. He revealed that they both had other partners during the time they were close friends.
At the time, Anupam was a struggling actor, while Kirron was already an established star, working in both theater and films alongside prominent figures in the industry.
“She was already a star back then. She was doing theater, working in movies, and she is an M.A. first class first,” he said. “I met her in Chandigarh. I was just a simple village boy, and there didn’t seem to be any connection between us.”
He further explained, “We were the best of friends for ten years. She was married, and I was heartbroken after a three-year relationship ended. Kirron, too, was going through a tough time in her marriage. How our friendship turned into love, and love turned into marriage, is a story in itself.”
