Veteran actor Anupam Kher, hailed for essaying tremendous phenomenal roles in his acting career, says his first attempt to acting turned out to be a “disaster”.
Anupam took to Twitter, where he posted a video and shared how he first tried hands at acting in class five and how the school’s play took a hilarious turn. He essayed the role of Prithviraj Chauhan in the play upon his class teacher’s wish.
He shared a story from his autobiography ‘Lessons Life Taught Me Unknowingly’, which is to be released on August 5 this year.
“My first attempt at acting was a disaster. In the fifth standard school play my co-actor being stronger than me threw me in the audience. Back then in Shimla, these were excitement we lived for,” Anupam captioned the video.
