Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently made a rare red carpet appearance with his wife, Kirron Kher, sparking concern among fans about her well-being. The couple, who have been married for over three decades, were photographed at a recent event, leading many to wonder about Kirron's health.
Kirron Kher, a celebrated actress and politician, has been battling multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, since 2020. Anupam Kher has been a constant source of support throughout her journey, and has often provided updates on her health to the public. In the past, he has refuted false reports regarding Kirron's health, reassuring fans that she was doing fine. Kirron herself has spoken about her cancer battle, noting that the treatment was often harder than the illness itself. Despite the challenges, she has maintained a positive attitude and continued to work, even judging India's Got Talent during her treatment.
The recent red carpet appearance comes amidst Anupam Kher's preparations for the release of his directorial film, Tanvi The Great, which is slated to hit theaters on July 18. The film features a star-studded cast, including Shubhangi Dutt, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, and Pallavi Joshi. Kher has been actively promoting the film and sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses with his fans.
Adding to the recent headlines, Anupam Kher has also openly discussed his marriage with Kirron, admitting that it isn't "the best marriage in the world". In a recent interview, he shared that he has unintentionally hurt Kirron at times, and that maintaining a long-term relationship requires significant emotional effort. He also challenged the idea of perfect compatibility in relationships, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and working through challenges. The couple's relationship began as a friendship during a difficult period in both their lives, with Kirron facing challenges in her first marriage and Anupam having just come out of a breakup. They tied the knot in 1985, and Anupam embraced Kirron's son, Sikander, from her previous marriage.
In a recent interview, Anupam Kher also opened up about why he and Kirron never had children together. He revealed that Kirron faced difficulties conceiving, and when she did become pregnant, complications arose. Anupam admitted that he was also very focused on his career at the time. While he acknowledges feeling a void at times, he also expressed contentment with his relationship with Sikander, who he considers his own.
Despite the challenges and health concerns, Anupam and Kirron Kher continue to be a prominent couple in the Indian film industry. Their recent red carpet appearance, while sparking some concerns, also served as a reminder of their enduring bond and resilience in the face of adversity.
