Anupam Kher Says Robert De Niro Is Now One of His ‘Best Friends’
Veteran star Anupam Kher sent jaws dropping at IFFI when he declared that he can now proudly call Hollywood legend Robert De Niro one of his “best friends.”
Speaking at his masterclass, Kher opened up about his gritty rise in Bollywood, his breakout in Saaransh, and his belief that “giving up is not a choice.”
Kher, who was only 28 when he played a grieving 65-year-old in the 1984 classic, later crossed over to Hollywood with Silver Linings Playbook and New Amsterdam. But his biggest full-circle moment came when he finally shared a set with his lifelong idol De Niro.
The actor recalled how De Niro initially objected to a key scene Kher was meant to perform. Rather than stay silent, Kher spoke up and defended the moment — risking the role entirely. Hours later, De Niro invited him in for a drink and praised him, sparking a friendship Kher still treasures.
“Today I can claim that Mr. Robert De Niro is one of my best friends,” he told the crowd, urging them to embrace struggle.
Kher wrapped his session with a signature dose of inspiration, saying life’s challenges are what make your story worth watching — and every life deserves a blockbuster ending.
