Anupam Kher recalls car theft incident at Mahalakshmi temple: “When I explained to the police how I lost my car, they couldn’t stop laughing”
In a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast, Anupam Kher discussed his near bankruptcy in the early 2000s. He revealed that the situation worsened when his car was stolen from outside the Mahalakshmi temple. Kher recounted visiting the police station to file a report, where the officers couldn’t help but laugh, likening the incident to a scene from a movie.
Kher said, “I don’t enjoy driving much, but I drove myself to the temple that day. I left the car running and stepped out to pray. Just as I bent down to pray, I saw a thief driving away with my car. I quickly hailed an auto and asked the driver to follow the car, but we couldn’t catch up. So I told him to take me to a police station instead. When I explained to the police how I lost my car, they couldn’t stop laughing. They were rolling on the floor, saying they couldn’t believe something like this could happen in real life. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie to them.”
During the interview, Kher explained that his desire to become a “TV tycoon” nearly led him to bankruptcy, with his house and office almost being sold. On the professional front, Kher recently appeared in The Signature and is now preparing for YRF’s Vijay 69, set to premiere on Netflix on November 8.
