Anup Jalota showers praise on Anupam Kher, says ‘Aapki Uunchai hi aapke jeevan ka Saaransh hai’

Anupam Kher has had an amazing 2022 with three box office successes to his name, The Kashmir Files, Karthikeya 2 and Uunchai. The whole nation has applauded his prowess on the big screen and his capability to pull in the audience even in these tumultuous times. Even folks from the industry have lauded his run at the box office this year and joining that list is now renowned singer Anup Jalota.

Recently, Jalota held an intimate gathering at his residence to celebrate him being honoured at the Sangeet Natak Akademi Awards. During the get together, renowned ghazal singer Talat Aziz was also present and he shared the stage with Kher and sang Daddy’s Aaaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si Soorat Maange in his praise.

Post that, even the host raved about Kher and his work over the years, as he said, “Anupamji recently invited me for the grand premiere of his latest release ‘Uunchai’. During our conversation, he informed me that he started his acting journey with Rajshri Productions’ ‘Saaransh’ and he would be happy to have me at the premiere of Uunchai. Since I am a huge fan of ‘Saaransh’, I had sent him a one-line message – “Aapki Uunchai hi aapke jeevan ka Saaransh hai”. I strongly feel that ‘Saaransh’ is Anupamji’s best work so far and it’s such a good film that you can start watching it from any point but you will definitely watch it till the end.”

Jalota went on to sing praises of Kher’s prowess as an actor and how he has the innate ability to become the character himself. An overwhelmed Kher replied by saying that sharing stage and humming a few lines with stalwarts like Aziz and Jalota was nothing short of a Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for him.

The three stalwarts were also accompanied by some more mavericks of the Indian music industry including Madhushree, Shailendra Singh, Dr. Soma Ghosh, Jaspinder Narula, Sanjay Tandon, Usha Timothy, Vivek Prakash, Robvy Badal, Shubhankar Ghosh, Nitin Mukesh and Sameer Date, amongst others. Jalota also added that post getting the Padma Shri for his music, this award was for his natak, acting and producing films.

As for Kher, he is all set to carry on the momentum from 2022 to next year with some interesting projects in the pipeline, including Emergency, Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay, Kaagaz 2 and a reunion with filmmaker Neeraj Pandey, amongst many other projects.
