Anupam Kher buys 'first ever' home in Shimla for mother

Shimla, March 26 Veteran actor Anupam Kher says he has bought his “first ever” home here as a gift to his mother, after spending an entire childhood in rented apartments and rented homes.
Anupam posted a minute-long video, sharing the news. Seen in the backdrop is a picturesque view of the hill station.
“We Indians want to have our own home in a place where we grew up. Happy to share, we have our first ever home in Shimla. Presented it to mom,” he captioned the video.
In the video, the 62-year-old actor says: “We Indians spend our entire lives wishing that where were born and brought up, the place where we grew up we should have our own home there. I was born in Shimla and right now I am in Jutogh, which is a few kms away from Shimla.”
“My father was a clerk here in the forest department. Our whole lives we spent in government quarters and rented homes and due to some reasons, I was unable to buy a house here.”
“But now, today I am in Shimla and I have bought a small home here which I would like to gift to my mother. She is extremely happy, has been teary-eyed since yesterday and said that this is the most beautiful thing that could have happened to her.”
“Wish my father was here… So as of now, I am in this beautiful place, amid the fragrance of fresh air of the ranges and the greenery, and it feels great, which is why I wanted to share this happiness with you all. Give us blessings, give us lot of love, my mother is a very happy person today.”
