Anupam Kher celebrates birthday for the 'third time' with Robert de Niro

The tireless Anupam Kher, who turned 65 on March 7, is far from fatigued.

“People say age is just a number. Now I know what they mean. I don’t feel the weight of my age,” he says.

He is currently in the US shooting for a hit American series “I am in the US shooting for the American serial New Amsterdam. Of course, I miss home. I haven’t faced the camera at home for quite some time now. Mumbai ke shooting ka mahaul hi alag hota hai. I miss that atmosphere on the sets back home. I miss my mother the most,” says Anupam who is working round-the-clock to finish his series in the US.

Anupam celebrated his birthday with buddy Robert de Niro. “This is the third time in a row that he has made time to celebrate my birthday with me. For any actor, this is a dream come true. I feel honored privileged. I feel very special. Not too many people get what I’ve received in life. I want to make the best of the opportunities that life provides me so that I never have to regret anything.”

Any regrets at all?

“None whatsoever. Even the Bollywood films I was criticized for being very precious to me,” says Anupam.
