Anupam Kher, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in over 550 films, has been living in a rented house in Mumbai for the past 10 years after selling his property to actress Alia Bhatt. Kher, who faced numerous challenges upon arriving in Mumbai in 1981 with just ₹37, reflects on how these early struggles shaped his perspective on life. He believes that life is simple and often complicated by unnecessary desires. Kher's choice to rent instead of own is a deliberate one, aimed at prioritizing personal fulfillment and success over wealth accumulation. He also honored his mother’s wish by buying her a home in Shimla, demonstrating his commitment to family. Kher emphasizes that failure is a crucial teacher, fostering growth and creativity, while success can lead to an insatiable desire for more. He concludes that simplicity should be embraced, regardless of one’s level of success, as it leads to a more fulfilling life.
