Anupam Kher Says Becoming An Author Has Been A ‘Quiet, Overwhelming’ Milestone

MUMBAI -Veteran actor Anupam Kher has expressed gratitude at seeing his books placed on bookstore shelves, saying he always believed his stories would live on screen and stage but never imagined he would one day be called an author.

The 69-year-old actor shared a string of videos and pictures of himself signing his books at a bookstore. Calling the moment “quiet and overwhelming,” he said that as an actor, he always believed his stories would live on screen and stage.

Anupam wrote, “Seeing my books on bookstore shelves fills me with a quiet, overwhelming gratitude. As an actor, I always believed my stories would live on screen and stage!! I never imagined I would one day be an author.”

He added, “That word still feels new, almost tender. What makes it even more special is that I come from a Hindi medium background, and yet all four of my life-coaching books are written in English.”

The actor said that every copy on the shelf is not just a book.

“It is a reminder that language is not a limitation, that dreams can evolve, and that reinvention has no age. It makes me feel not just important — but deeply thankful.”  (IANS)
