Anupam Kher opens up about brother Raju Kher
Aupam Kher explained in a chat on the Zindagi with Richa YouTube channel that many sibling feuds could be avoided if brothers remembered their childhood together. He said, “If every brother remembers what they were like when they were young, there would be no fight. I look at my life like it’s a film. How can I forget that we grew up together?”
Anupam manages brother Raju’s finances without hesitation
Anupam also revealed that he handles Raju’s finances, including household matters, and sees it as a natural responsibility. He explained that sharing his good fortune is simply the right thing to do. He said, “I must also compliment Kirron (Kher, wife), because she never, ever asked me, ‘Why do you do so much for your brother?’ That’s how problems begin. I would sign cheques for Raju, the household, and other things… I told my manager long ago, ‘Remember one thing in life, never ask me how much money I’m giving to my brother’.”
Praises brother Raju for never feeling jealousy
Despite Anupam achieving more fame, he noted that Raju has never been jealous of his success. Their mutual respect and shared upbringing have kept their bond strong. “We both grew up together; we have the same parents. My brother has never been jealous of me, that I am more successful than him. He’s amazing that way. My parents lived more with my brother and his wife than they did with me,” he added.
Anupam Kher feels upset about family property disputes
Anupam spoke about his distress at seeing siblings fight over property. He explained, “I become very upset when I see brothers killing each other over property. In the back of my mind, this is one of the reasons why I live on rent.”
