Senior actor Anupam Kher has been a part of the film industry for decades. He is very close to his family members and often shares pictures and videos with them which reflects their bond. Recently, the actor revealed that he has been financially taking care of his brother Raju Kher. Raju has acted in a handful of films but did not see the kind of success his brother Anupam saw. Despite that, Anupam reveals that his brother has never been jealous of him and the two share a tight bond.
Anupam Kher on his bond with brother Raju Kher
Recently, Anupam appeared on an episode of Zindagi with Richa on YouTube and revealed that he takes care of his brother’s finances. Anupam 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? I must also compliment Kirron (Kirron Kher), 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’.”
The DDLJ actor believes that if life has been kind to him, it only feels natural to share that good fortune with others, especially with his brother. “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. 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,” he added.
