Actor Anupam Kher recently put on his directing hat for the film Tanvi the Great. The film is struggling to fill theatres, having been swept under the Saiyaara storm. While promoting the film, Kher talked about his family life and several of his lifestyle choices, like living in a rented house. Kher explained that his decision not to buy a house stems from his desire to avoid conflicts within his family after his death. In an interview, he also spoke about how he parented Sikandar Kher, his stepson.
He explained that he wants his family to lead a peaceful life without any conflict after he is gone, and leaving property behind might interfere with that plan. “Once a person is gone, or has passed away, there is a chance that some disputes might arise regarding the property he has left behind. There is less conflict involved with distributing money. I have seen and talked to aged people, and their stories are harrowing. Someone has been thrown out by their son; someone is being coerced to sign over their property. These kinds of things and conversations don’t happen in my house,” he said.
Kher, who recently expressed regret about not having a biological child of his own, opened up about being a stepfather to Sikandar. He said that he refuses to look over his Sikandar’s shoulder and wants him to live according to his own preferences. “Sikandar is my stepson. Kids of today don’t ask their fathers for permission before doing anything. I don’t play the role of a father in my real life; that’s fine for the movies. I don’t go up to Sikandar and tell him how he should handle his business. Kids don’t learn in this manner, and my father never told me what to do. Parents should give their kids a certain amount of freedom so that they learn from their own mistakes,” he said.
