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.

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.
