Anupam’s A-lister dinner
VETERAN actor Anupam Kher, who turned 64 on Thursday, celebrated his birthday with Hollywood star Robert De Niro.
As Kher is busy shooting for his show New Amsterdam, American hedge fund manager Barry Rosenstein hosted a birthday dinner for him.
Rosenstein was introduced to Kher by his Silver Linings Playbook co-star De Niro.
For The Accidental Prime Minister actor, “it was a dream come true that Mr De Niro was part of my birthday for two years in a row”.
“It was a wonderful dinner hosted by Barry Rosenstein and it was so gracious of him to host it in my honour,” added Kher.
The dinner was an intimate affair with close friends, including the acclaimed Indian doctor and cancer specialist Siddharth Mukherjee and his artist wife Sara.
Last year, De Niro threw a birthday party for Kher.
On the occasion, his wife, Kirron Kher, also an actress and politician, posted a special note for him.
“Anupam, you have been my strength ever since I’ve known you. This day is very special to me, more special than my own birthday. Here’s wishing you a very, very happy birthday and all the glory that you deserve! Lots and lots of love,” she wrote.
Known for playing versatile roles in films like Dushmani, Karma and Haseena Maan Jayegi, Kher has been entertaining for more than 30 years. | IANS
