I Was Darling Of These People, But… An

Anupam
Kher
is
one
of
the
most
versatile
actors
of
Bollywood.
Give
him
any
role
and
he
will
pass
with
flying
colours.
However,
the
actor
is
not
a
part
of
commercial
cinema
anymore.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
Times
Now
Navbharat,
when
Anupam
was
asked
about
the
same,
he
said
that
he
used
to
be
darling
of
filmmakers
like
Karan
Johar,
Aditya
Chopra,
Sajid
Nadiadwala,
but
they
do
not
cast
him
anymore.

He
said,
“I
am
not
a
part
of
mainstream
cinema
in
India
today.
I
am
not.
I
am
not
doing
any
Karan
Johar
film,
I
am
not
doing
any
Sajid
Nadiadwala
film,
I
am
not
doing
any
Aditya
Chopra
film
because
the
offers
have
not
come.
I
was
a
darling
of
all
these
people.
I
have
done
everybody’s
films.
But
I
am
not
blaming
them
for
not
casting
me
anymore.”

He
further
said,
“But
because
they
were
not
casting
me
in
their
films,
I
found
a
path
where
I
did
a
Tamil
film
called
Connect,
I
did
a
Telugu
film
called
Tiger
Nageswara
Rao.
I
have
also
done
Sooraj
Barjatya’s
Uunchai.”

He
further
said
that
he
does
feel
bad
and
he
often
wonders
why
they
have
stopped
working
with
him
suddenly,
but
he
does
not
hold
any
grudges
against
them.

“Otherwise
I
could’ve
have
sat
down
&
said,
‘Arey
yaar
mere
dost
aur
mere
jo
itne
kareebi
they
ek
zamaane
mein,
mujhe
ab
lete
nahin
hain
filmon
mein
toh
main
ab
kya
karoon
main
toh
barbaad
ho
gaya.’ But,
it’s
not
a
complaint
&
neither
am
I
holding
it
against
them,”
added

The
Kashmir
Files
actor.

He
concluded
by
saying
that
sometimes,
when
one
door
shuts,
so
many
other
windows
&
doors
open
and
he
is
happy
to
rediscover
himself
as
an
actor.
