Veteran actor Anupam Kher took a moment to reflect on his challenging yet fulfilling cinematic journey on the first day of shooting his 550th film, “Khosla Ka Ghosla 2.”

Kher recalled a remark made by an international director during the Cannes Film Festival last year.

“So you are the MARATHON MAN of Indian cinema!!” an international director said at the Cannes Film Festival last year when Kher shared the number of films he has acted in, he recalled.

Looking back at the day he first arrived in Mumbai in 1981 with a heart full of dreams, Kher wrote on Instagram, “So today, as I start my 550th film #KhoslaKaGhosla2, my heart is filled with GRATITUDE and THANKFULNESS! When I landed in #Mumbai, the city of dreams, on June 3, 1981, never had I dreamt that I would reach this LANDMARK of 550 films.”

Despite his long journey, Kher said he feels he has only reached the “interval point” of his life and career and still has much more to offer.

“But here I am in Delhi, ready to give my first shot for KKG2. Just FYI, I genuinely feel I have so much to give, so much to do! I have reached only the ‘interval point’ of my life and my career! Dreams have no EXPIRY date!” the veteran actor wrote.

Revealing what he described as his biggest strengths over the years, Kher added, “My optimism, my never-giving-up attitude and my ability to work hard have been my biggest strengths!”

He also credited directors, producers and audiences for his longevity in the industry.

Expressing gratitude, he wrote, “But my survival for all these years has only been possible because of the support I got from all my producers, directors, co-actors, technicians and above all YOU, my AUDIENCES! Without your support, reaching this landmark would never have been possible! So a big heartfelt THANK YOU! Jai Ho! Jai Hind! Om Namah Shivay!”
