Anupam Kher all set to write another book

After completing 30 long years in Indian Cinema, actor Anupam Kher is all set to share his experiences through a book. The actor, who is widely appreciated for his roles in films like Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara, Khosla Ka Ghosla!, A Wednesday, Saudagar and Lamhe, hopes to complete his second book titled Lessons Life Has Taught Me in the next six months.

"It will have between 15-20 chapters to encapsulate all the lessons I have learnt from my parents, the movies I've made, the people I've journeyed with, my plays, soon-to-air TV show Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai and even my experiences as a life coach. It's a book for youngsters so while the content will be meaningful and serious, the writing will be light. Things that I had once laughed off as trivial, turned out to be life-changing experiences," the actor says. His first book, The Best Thing About You Is You! has run into 14 editions and has been translated into 10 languages.

Currently, Anupam is busy with some big budget commercial films like Singham Returns and the Shaukeen remake and smaller films like 21 Topon Ki Salaami. "I've worked in 487 films over three decades and I plan to work for the next 30 years," he asserts. Anupam remembers his critically acclaimed film Saaransh in which he played a 68-year-old school teacher and says "I would still be a contender to play Masterji BV Pradhan and still look younger than my reel age, but while Saaransh will remain an evergreen film with a universal theme, there's nothing new we can offer in a sequel. But there are references to Saaransh and the lessons it taught me in my book."
