Actor Anupam Kher recently shed light on an encounter that transpired during his mundane commute. As his car idled in the ceaseless traffic of Mumbai, Kher stumbled upon a local street vendor named Raju, eking out a living by peddling combs at a modest price of Rs 20.
In a serendipitous moment captured on camera, Kher engaged in a banter with Raju, jesting about the necessity of purchasing a comb when baldness seemed to render it superfluous. Yet, beneath the veil of humour, there lay a profound sentiment of empathy and compassion. Recognising the dignity in Raju’s laborious efforts to make both ends meet, Kher extended his warm wishes on the occasion of Raju’s birthday.
The poignant exchange in the video resonated deeply with netizens across social media platforms. Dubbing the video as “BALD and BEAUTIFUL,” Kher underscored the innate beauty of human resilience and the capacity to find joy amidst life’s adversities.

Inspired by Raju’s unwavering optimism, Kher urged others to support the street vendor by patronising his modest trade.
One user wrote, “Aap anupam kher ho” ke baad ki smile was divine️”. Another said, “Sir, you are good human being. God Bless.” A third praised the encounter and wrote, “Such a wholesome video fr.”
