Anupam Kher confesses he misses having a child of his own with Kirron Kher: ‘It’s not about Sikander Kher, but I feel the void now’

In a recent interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Anupam Kher was asked if he misses having a child of his own, Anupam Kher quickly replied, “I didn’t feel it that much before, but now sometimes I do feel like it. I think in the last seven-eight years. Its not like, I am not happy with Sikander, but I think its a joy to see a child growing up. Its a joy to see bonding and this is an honest answer to you. I could have avoided to answer this, but I don’t want to do that. But, it’s okay. It’s not a tragedy in my life. But, I sometimes feel it would have been a nice thing.”

He added, “All this while I was extremely busy working, but after I hit 50-55, I started to feel the void. It was mostly because Kirron became busy, and so did Sikander. I work with kids in my organisation: The Anupam Kher Foundation. We do a lot of work with children, and sometimes when I see my friends’ children and things like that… (I miss having children) but, it’s not a sense of loss.

Previously, in an interview with Times of India, Anupam Kher shared Sikander was four years when he came into his life. “What my father was to me, I am to him. But to say that I don’t miss having a child of my own will be a lie,” told Anupam. The actor clarified that this has nothing to do with his stepson.

According to Lehren, Anupam and Kirron tried to conceive a child together, but nothing worked out, despite taking medical help. Anupam was previously married to actress Madhumati Kapoor, while Kirron was married to Gautam Berry.
