Anupam Kher tied the knot with Kirron Kher in 1985, and the duo is known for their enduring love story that inspires many. In a recent chat, Anupam shared insights about their long-term friendship and how they eventually fell for each other, as life had different plans for both of them. Their friendship began during their college days in Chandigarh, and they reconnected in Mumbai, which led to their romantic relationship.
In a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Anupam revealed that while he was unmarried, Kirron was married during their 12-year-long friendship. Kirron Kher was his senior in college, and he recalled her as an exceptional achiever, a top student, talented actress, and India-level badminton player.
