Anupum Kher has done more than 400 films and appeared in several plays. He had been a part of various English movies and series and the most famous ones include ‘Silver Lining Playbook’, ‘Bend it like Beckham’ and ‘Sense8’. As far as Indian movies are concerned, he is mostly seen in the roles of father. Recently, he appeared in ‘M S Dhoni: The Untold Story’. Currently, he is working in ‘Naam Shabana’. Anupum Kher was asked for his viewpoint on Indian actors who want to work in Hollywood and those who don’t consider Oscars as a benchmark of excellence. In response he explained that he is proud of such actors who represent India on an International platform. He also added that whoever claims that Oscars don’t mean anything, is basically lying. “I am very proud of Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Irrfan, Anil Kapoor and Suraj Sharma, as they have all done brilliant work internationally. In fact, Om Puri was the flag-bearer when it came to being a successful Indian actor in the international arena. People who discourage other actors, who are making a mark in Hollywood by asking them why they are hankering after it, are basically lying,” he stated. “They will give their right arm to be a part of the crowd at the Oscar ceremony or a Hollywood film. Every art house actor is dying to work in out-and-out commercial films; every actor wants to work with a superstar. Similarly, all those Indian actors, who look down upon the Oscars and say that they are not important, are basically lying,” he concluded.
