Kirron Kher ‘Can't Appreciate Every Film' Of Anupam Kher And She Is ‘Blunt About That'
Kirron Kher revealed how she has often been 'blunt' with her husband Anupam Kher about his films, even if it means telling him she didn't like them. Kirron Kher has always been known for her candid nature and unfiltered opinions. Whether it is about her work, personal beliefs or family, the veteran actress does not hold back. In a recent conversation, she revealed how she has often been 'blunt' with her husband, actor Anupam Kher, about his films, even if it means telling him she didn't like them. She also opened up about the advice she gives her son, Sikandar, urging him not to be overly selective with his work. Kirron Kher Criticises Husband Anupam Kher's Films During a conversation with CNN-News 18 Kirron shared, 'I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. I am rather blunt about that. My husband feels bad about it. He has done so many films. Some of them are good, some aren't, so I can't appreciate every film of his. I'm a dangerous woman to take to film trials because it is obvious when I don't like a film. It shows on my face." Her straightforwardness is not just limited to her husband's work. Kirron admitted she has been equally upfront about her son Sikandar's performances, citing an example from his 2019 film Milan Talkies, directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, which she did not enjoy. Kirron Kher's Advice to Her Son Kirron explained that she often advises Sikandar to take a page from Anupam Kher's career, where he never turned down work for being too choosy. She added, 'I usually like Sikandar's work. He is very particular about his projects. I tell him not to be like me but to be more like Anupam. Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. He had to help relatives, his brother and everyone else. Sikandar is a laat saheb (entitled) and he thinks like me but things don't work that way. Aapko bhi kaam karna padega vaise jaise Papa ne kiya (He also has to work like his father did)." The actress pointed out that her own career choices were shaped by her circumstances. 'I had the luxury of choice, I didn't have to run the house, it was Anupam's responsibility. So I could choose what I want to do but if Sikandar also starts doing this then problems will occur," she said. Kirron Kher's Personal Front Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher tied the knot on August 26, 1985. Sikandar is Kirron's son from her first marriage with Gautam Berry. Kirron and Anupam never had children together. In 2020, Kirron was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, following which she has largely maintained a low public profile. She was last seen attending the premiere of Tanvi The Great, directed by Anupam Kher, on July 17, 2025. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Kirron Kher says Anupam Kher feels bad when she doesn't appreciate his work, advises son Sikandar Kher to 'be more like Anupam': 'Sikandar is a laat saheb...'
Veteran actor Kirron Kher is known for her open and honest personality, both on and off screen. In a recent interview, she revealed that she never praises her family's work unless it truly impresses her, even if that means hurting feelings at home. 'I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. My husband feels bad about it,' she told News18, admitting she can't pretend to like every film Anupam Kher has done. 'It shows on my face,' she laughed, recalling how she didn't enjoy Sikandar's performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies. Advice to Sikandar: 'Be more like Anupam' Kirron shared that she often urges her son to be less selective with projects. While Sikandar is 'very particular' about his work, she feels he needs to take on more roles, just as Anupam did during his career's peak. 'Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. Sikandar is a laat saheb... but things don't work that way,' she pointed out. Kirron acknowledged she had the 'luxury of choice' because Anupam bore the financial responsibility, a privilege she believes Sikandar cannot afford if he wants to keep working consistently. Kirron Kher drops a picture from a lunch date with her husband Anupam Kher; fans say 'You both are looking cute' Anupam Kher on the 'void' of not having children Married since 1985, Kirron and Anupam Kher do not have children together. Sikandar is Kirron's son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry, and was four years old when Anupam entered his life. Speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast, Anupam admitted feeling a 'void' over not having biological children, revealing that Kirron 'could not conceive' and later faced complications when she did. 'I was too busy making it big,' he said, but added that Sikandar 'is still fine for me,' emphasising their strong bond despite the circumstances.

Anupam Kher ‘feels bad' when I criticise his films, wife Kirron Kher says she's ‘blunt' with her reactions: ‘I'm a dangerous woman to take to film trials'
Veteran actor Kirron Kher has never shied away from sharing her opinions, and she has always been quite candid about them. During a recent interaction, Kirron shared how she would bluntly tell her husband, veteran actor Anupam Kher, if she didn't like any of his films. She also spoke about the advice she gives her son, Sikandar, on not being as selective with his projects as she has been in her career. Speaking to CNN-News18, she said, 'I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. I am rather blunt about that. My husband feels bad about it. He has done so many films. Some of them are good, some aren't, so I can't appreciate every film of his. I'm a dangerous woman to take to film trials because it is obvious when I don't like a film. It shows on my face.' Kirron then went on to admit that she didn't like Sikandar's performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia's film Milan Talkies. Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher got married on August 26, 1985. Sikandar is Kirron's son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry. After her divorce from Gautam, she married Anupam in 1985. The two never had children together. During a recent chat on Raj Shamani's podcast, Anupam shared that feels a 'void' for not having his own children. When asked for the reason behind the same, he shared that Kirron 'could not conceive.' 'Kirron could not conceive it and then once she conceived, she had to.. sort of… it was not growing in the right manner,' he said and added that he too, was busy with his career. 'I was too busy making it big. I was too busy aur Sikandar acha… acha hai Sikander mere liye (Sikander is still fine for me). He was 4 when he came into my life, when I married Kirron so I never felt anything missing,' he said.
