Anupam’s mom Dulari steals show with unscripted ‘ramp walk’

'Gifting mom is risky': Anupam Kher decodes middle-class homes as mother Dulari steals the show with unscripted 'ramp walk'

Anupam Kher has once again touched a million hearts with a simple, joyful post about his mother, Dulari Kher. On a light-hearted yet deeply emotional note shared on X (formerly Twitter), the veteran actor captured the warmth, noise, laughter, and love that define a typical Indian middle-class home — and the internet cannot stop sharing it.

Anupam Kher’s heartwarming post goes viral

Anupam Kher opened his post with a universally relatable observation that had fans nodding along instantly. “Gifting mom is a bit of a risky business,” he wrote, pointing out that whether you gift mothers “a shawl, sweater, sari, purse, samosa, or any other gift,” the chances of them actually using it are “pretty slim.”He went on to describe with affectionate humour how mothers first admire gifts with visible joy, proudly display them to every family member who will look, and then tuck them away in such a “safe spot” that “maybe the next two generations won’t even be able to find it.” What began as a joke quickly turned into something far more tender. The veteran actor described the lively scene unfolding around him at home, his grandnephew Nirvair running about, his niece Vrinda coming and going — when, in the middle of all the cheerful domestic chaos, his mother happily did a “ramp walk with her new gift.”That single, unscripted moment stopped him in his tracks. “This isn’t just my home. This is the story of 90% of India’s middle-class homes,” he reflected, going on to describe how such families measure love not in expensive presents but in gestures — a mother quietly planning her grown child’s favourite meal, a room filled with noise and belonging in equal measure. Anupam Kher’s post built to a warm, memorable conclusion that summed up the spirit of home in one vivid image. “Every room is filled with a bit of noise, a bit of laughter, a bit of banter, and a whole lot of love,” he wrote, before signing off with a line that resonated deeply online: “Home is where Mom is doing a ramp walk with her new gift and the whole family is clapping like an audience.”

Anupam Kher’s projects

On the professional front, Kher was last seen in his self-directed 2025 film ‘Tanvi: The Great’. He has two releases lined up in 2026, ‘The India House’, arriving on June 4, and ‘Khosla Ka Ghosla 2’, scheduled for August 28. Go to Source
