Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently recalled a moment from his talk show when Shah Rukh Khan had claimed he was the last superstar.
Agreeing with SRK’s claim during a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Anupam opened up about the genuine relationships in the industry when there were no vanity vans or cell phones.
“Humare rishte bane hai. Na humare pass vanity van hoti thi, na mobile, humare pass rishte hote thee (Our relationships were built genuinely. We didn’t have vanity vans or mobile phones. What we had were real bonds). Mere show pe Shah Rukh Khan ne bola tha ‘I am the last superstar’, and I think what he said was right (Shah Rukh Khan had once said on my show, ‘I am the last superstar,’ and I believe he was absolutely right),” Anupam shared while recalling the memorable episode from his talk show.
Anupam, who has been busy promoting his drama film ‘Tanvi The Great’, praised megastars like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh.
“Their stardom is timeless. Mr. Bachchan, especially, is a shining example of someone who faced tough times and rose again, like a true giant,” Anupam said.
Directed and co-produced by Anupam himself, ‘Tanvi The Great’ also features Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, Boman Irani, Pallavi Joshi, Karan Tacker, Nasser, and Iain Glen in key roles. The film was released worldwide on July 18.
