The Bollywood fraternity is extremely proud of Anupam Kher and here’s why.

In a list that includes popular authors like J K Rowling who penned the famous Harry Potter series and Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho, India has found it’s presence in names like Bollywood veterans Anupam Kher and Mahesh Bhatt. They are two of the three Indians who have been listed as one of the most influential authors by the website Richtopia. Anupam Kher is placed 12th for his book ‘The Best Thing About You Is You’. The actor was recently seen in his debut short film Kheer, which was released on Valentine’s Day and he will soon be seen in Naam Shabana where he will share the screen with Taapsee Pannu, Manoj Bajpayee and Akshay Kumar.

The website which noted Anupam Kher as an Actor/Teacher/Author/Motivational Speaker/UN_Women Champion of Gender Equality @HeForShe movement took to Twitter to congratulate him.
