Anupam Kher reveals how Kirron's battle with cancer shaped his role in 'Signature'

Veteran actor Anupam Kher is currently touring to promote his next movie, "Signature", where he discussed how some scenes in the film resonated with him personally because of his partner and fellow actor Kirron Kher's battle with cancer.

Anupam said, "During the shoot of this film, there were certain scenes that I enacted that I identified with at a personal level."

"My wife, Kirron, was unwell and was undergoing cancer treatment, so bringing out those emotions on celluloid came from that experience. I feel it’s the culmination of my personal life situations that helped me play this part efficiently."

Recalling his wife's cancer treatment, the actor added that Kirron also received therapy in Mumbai. The country has excellent doctors, he said.

Anupam revealed that Rishi Kapoor had spent a full year in America receiving treatment, and he talked about the difficulties he had endured being away from his family and home.

“Anil Ambani also sent his aircraft to bring Kirron back and got her treated here in India. It’s something that I highly appreciate because it’s so compassionate,” he added.

Anupam's next project is the OTT film "Signature," directed by Gajendra Ahire. The film will be released on Zee5 on Oct 4.
