Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently reminisced about the golden days of Bollywood, sharing fond memories of deeper connections within the industry. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan during promotions for his upcoming film Tanvi The Great, Anupam reflected on the genuine bonds actors shared before the era of vanity vans and mobile phones.
Anupam recalled a special moment from his own talk show, where Shah Rukh Khan made a striking statement. “Back then, we didn’t have vanity vans or mobiles. We had relationships,” he said, adding, “Shah Rukh Khan once said on my show, ‘I am the last superstar,’ and I completely agree with him.”
He further highlighted the enduring stardom of Bollywood legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. “Their stardom isn’t temporary. Mr. Bachchan especially remains an inspiration, having risen from setbacks like a true icon,” Anupam said.
