In a recent post on social media, Kher highlighted that while their skills might be seen as outdated by the younger generation, including their own children, the wealth of experience they possess renders them exceptional.

Kher elaborated on the remarkable technological advancements his generation has observed, transitioning from gramophone records to Spotify, from traditional radio to 3D and HD TV, and from handwritten letters to WhatsApp.
"We have journeyed from telephone operators to mobile phones and video calls. We've moved from gramophone records to YouTube and Spotify, and from telegrams to emails and WhatsApp. We fondly recall listening to live sports on the radio, watching on Black and White TV, then Color TV, and now 3D and HD TV. We went from renting video cassettes to enjoying everything from the comfort of our homes on mobile devices and OTT platforms. Our technological journey includes evolving from floppy disks to MBs and GBs. In our youth, we donned shorts, eventually embracing Oxford flares and blue jeans, which we still wear with pride," he stated.
Kher also emphasized their triumph over various health challenges.
He mentioned, "Our generation has faced paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu, and even conquered COVID-19."
