How did Anupam Kher spend his 63rd birthday

In a video message posted on Twitter, Anupam narrated a short story about his life

From being the comic relief in films like Darr and Ram Lakhan to be the actor who added the much-needed gravitas in films like Saaransh and Karma, Anupam Kher fought the age-obsessed film industry and made it on his own terms.

The actor who turned 63 yesterday, spent his birthday shooting in New York for an American series. He counted his blessings in a personalised message to his fans.

In a video message posted on Twitter, Anupam narrated a short story about his life.

He said: "A few years back, in fact many years back, on March 7, Pushkar Nath and Dulari had their first child in a small hill station called Shimla. They nicknamed their son Bittu. Bittu worked hard and over a period of time, Bittu became Anupam Kher.

"Today I am in New York on my birthday, shooting for an American series, my 513th project. God has been kind to Bittu. So today I want to thank you all for your blessings."
