Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actor Sikandar Kher marked his mother Kirron Kher's birthday on Sunday, 14 June with a heartfelt Instagram post, declaring his unconditional love as the veteran actress and politician celebrated another year. The family tribute came in two waves — first from her son, then from her husband of over four decades, veteran actor Anupam Kher.
Sikandar's Birthday Message
Sharing a cheerful photograph of Kirron on his official Instagram handle, Sikandar wrote: 'Happy birthday Maa! To good health and this smile always.. I love you the most in the world! God bless you.' The post, simple yet deeply personal, drew warm responses from fans and the film fraternity alike.
Anupam Kher's 52-Year Tribute
Earlier on the same day, Anupam Kher took to the photo-sharing platform to post an extended tribute reflecting on his 52-year association with Kirron — first as an admirer, then as a friend, and for almost 41 years as her husband. 'May God bless you with all the happiness in the world, and a long, healthy and peaceful life,' he wrote, addressing her as 'Dearest Kirron.'
Anupam elaborated on the quiet lessons their shared journey has offered: 'Life teaches us many lessons. The fascinating thing about learning is that it happens silently. You often discover what you have learned from a person many years later. And when I look back, I realize how much I have learned from you — not through words, but through the way you have lived your life.'
He signed off with a note of gratitude: 'Thank you for being in my life, for your strength, your integrity, your friendship, and for simply being you. We will have a wonderful birthday together. Love and prayers always!!'
