Manoj ji, you were great! Om Shanti!

Anupam Kher is saying in the video, 'The first film I saw in my life, which I remember very well, was 'Upkaar'. Films were shown in our locality. So this film was my first introduction to Manoj Kumar Ji. Then I saw Shaheed, Purab Paschim, Shor, kranti and many other films. Manoj Kumar ji has a huge contribution to awakening the feeling of patriotism in my heart. india had become independent. Only 15-20 years had passed and the fight for revolution, the freedom movement, everythingwas fresh. On top of that, inManoj Kumar Ji's films, that feeling of patriotism kept getting stronger.

The actor further said, 'Then I met Manoj Kumar for the first time in Mumbai. I used to go to find work, so one day I reached his office. He said, 'There is a passion, a charm in your data-face.' He clearly said that son, I am not making anything these days. Don't do small roles. Maybe you are capable of playing a big role. But, I don't have any work right now. His honest answer was a big thing for me.

Anupam Kher said, 'Then I came to films. He called me after watching my film 'Saaransh'. I reminded him that I had come to you to ask for work. He said, 'I told you, right? You are a horse for a very long race.' Then I went to meet him at his house. I came to know that he is a doctor of homeopathy. Politics, literature, poetry...he talked about everything candidly. Such people are rarely seen in the film world. He was very good. I went to meet him a few months ago. I said I want to take a photo with you. He said, 'Take it but don't share it anywhere. He was a man of great personality. Om Shanti.
