Veteran actor Kirron Kher is known for her open and honest personality, both on and off screen. In a recent interview, she revealed that she never praises her family’s work unless it truly impresses her, even if that means hurting feelings at home. “I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. My husband feels bad about it,” she told News18, admitting she can’t pretend to like every film Anupam Kher has done. “It shows on my face,” she laughed, recalling how she didn’t enjoy Sikandar’s performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies. Advice to Sikandar: ‘Be more like Anupam’Kirron shared that she often urges her son to be less selective with projects. While Sikandar is “very particular” about his work, she feels he needs to take on more roles, just as Anupam did during his career’s peak. “Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. Sikandar is a laat saheb… but things don’t work that way,” she pointed out. Kirron acknowledged she had the “luxury of choice” because Anupam bore the financial responsibility, a privilege she believes Sikandar cannot afford if he wants to keep working consistently.
Anupam Kher on the ‘void’ of not having childrenMarried since 1985, Kirron and Anupam Kher do not have children together. Sikandar is Kirron’s son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry, and was four years old when Anupam entered his life.Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Anupam admitted feeling a “void” over not having biological children, revealing that Kirron “could not conceive” and later faced complications when she did. “I was too busy making it big,” he said, but added that Sikandar “is still fine for me,” emphasising their strong bond despite the circumstances.
