Veteran actor Anupam Kher has been quite active on social media. He keeps sharing his thoughts on various issues through videos and photos.
Today the ‘Wednesday’ an actor getting nostalgic shared his autographed picture of early 80’s on his Instagram. By sharing the picture, he also remembered his friend and ace photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha.
Anupam commenting more on it said that though he was new in the industry and hardly had any fan following, Gautam being expensive didn’t charge a penny from him.
Reminiscing the good old days, Anupam on his Instagram wrote, “Story of this picture: 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. 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.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Anupam Kher was last seen in the movies ‘Hotel Mumbai’, ‘One Day: Justice Delivered’ and ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’.
