Anupam Kher was ‘trembling' after wife Kirron Kher's cancer diagnosis, son Sikander was cool: ‘Main toh bimaari ke liye darr raha tha'
Veteran actor-politician Kirron Kher was hit with a curveball in 2020, when she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. During News18's event She Shakti in 2024, she graced the stage with her son, actor Sikander Kher. The India's Got Talent judge revealed that while her husband-actor Anupam Kher was 'trembling' after seeing her in the hospital, Sikander on the other hand, was pretty 'cool' about it. Kirron also opened up about the tough course of treatment and medicines she had to go through to recover from the disease. When the host asked about Sikander's reaction after knowing about his mother's cancer diagnosis, he shared, 'It was end of 2020, I was shooting for my movie Monkey Man in Indonesia at that time. I was there for 4 months, everything is in a bubble so you are disconnected from the rest of the world.' The actor added, 'Life plays it's cards the way it does. What do you do at that point? I think she is very strong that way, we were always there and are there for her throughout. At the end of the day, life goes on and work goes on. There's nothing much that you can do, right?' ALSO READ | Anupam Kher accepts he feels a 'void' for not having a child of his own: 'Kirron Kher could not conceive, when she did…' However, Kirron instantly quipped that she expected him to be a bit more emotional than practical. 'I have never seen you being emotional about it ever. I wanted you to be a little bit but you were not,' she said. 'Main toh bimaari ke liye darr raha tha, maa. How can it mess with you? It can't mess with you. Galat jagah aagaye boss tum. Those conversations were between me and dad when I was in Bataam,' he smiled and replied. Sikander continued, 'The thing is, you have to be strong. You can't be saying 'Oh My God' around the person, it is going to kill all the good energy around you. Nobody is feeling good about it. Unfortunately, the situation and what happened is one of the worst things that happen in the world.' After which, the Dostana actor added, 'Anupam used to look thoda sa ghabraaya hua when he used to come into my hospital room, but Sikander was cool. Every human is scared at one point in life about anything happening to them. But when it happens, the only option you have is to accept it.' Kirron Kher also revealed that the cancer treatment process was worse than the disease itself. 'You have to get the treatment done. Bimaari se zyada khatarnaak ilaaj hai iska. The medicines and their side effects. The first 6-8 months were very tough, then God was kind. You leave it to the Lord. The Lord fights for me, who are we? We are nobodies,' she expressed.
