The actor added that there is a certain group of people who try to control what happens in the movie industry, people who try to decide an actor’s career graph for them. He said, “There is a section of people in the media who decide things like, ‘We don’t want to invite Anupam Kher to an actor’s roundtable’. They have never called me, and acting-wise, main inn sabka baap hoon (I am a much better actor than these people). I run an actual acting school. Recently, I even called up a senior editor and told her, ‘Why do you get so happy talking to mediocre actors?'”

He continued and said that he doesn’t like the fact that there are people out there who don’t wish to see him succeed. However, the actor said that he has learnt to live with it now and that all one needs to do for confidence is to stop caring about other people’s opinions. “Everyone wants to be liked, and I still feel that way. But the day you understand that you don’t need to be liked by everyone is the day you become the king. I even wrote a play about all my failures and showed it to the world. At that point, you stop caring about what people think,” said Kher.
