Recently, Anupam Kher was on a US tour, where he travelled to several cities with his new show ‘Zindagi Ka Safar’, in which he has lively interactions with the audience.
Mr Anupam said that he has no idea about how the show would turn out and added that it was “therapeutic”.
“The whole idea of the show was basically to reach out to people and tell them it is fine, everything will be fine. It was therapeutic for me and it was therapeutic for the audience,” he said and added, “I had no idea what I was going to do. So I told them my life story, played ‘antakshari’ with them. I was making fun of myself the most, telling them about my childhood days. It was basically a feel-good experience.”
