With a distinguis­hed body of work and over 500 films to his credit, Anupam Kher is a name to reckon with. Not just in India, the 64-year-old is a familiar face on the global stage as well, and his role in the medical TV drama, New Amsterdam, has added more numbers to his internatio­nal followers.

While people so far know him for his histrionic­s, the actor will now also be known for making people laugh — Kher will conduct a laughter fitness event at the Riverside Park in New York, USA on October 19.

A source says, “The actor, who is also a life coach, will lead the laughing event, which is expected to be attended by more than a 100 New York residents. The laughter event is said to have psychologi­cal and physical benefits and is hosted by the Riverside Park Conservanc­y. Laugh Out Loud with Anupam is open to all those who would like to participat­e in the group laughing event.”

Kher has played comic characters in several films such as Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), Judwaa (1997), The Shaukeens and Main Tera Hero (both 2014) to name a few. Calling laughter the best therapy, Kher is excited to be hosting this event. “We have practised it for ages in India and in different parts of the world. It (laughter) not only improves physical health but is known to have a positive impact on mental health as well. In today’s world, when smileys have replaced real laughter, I’m trying to add laughter to people’s lives. Let’s prove that laughter is the best medicine and make it the most beautiful sound. I’m glad that I’ll be conducting this amazing and full of life session with my fellow New York residents.”
