Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher were best friends in their college days, and later, decided to turn their friendship into a long-lasting bond of marriage. The couple was quite active in the theatre scene and bonded over the love for acting. Kirron Kher was earlier married to Gautam Berry, and Anupam Kher tied the knot with actress Madhumalti Kapoor. After experiencing a challenging time in their respective marriages, Anupam and Kirron’s bond with each other evolved and converted into something beautiful. Recently, Anupam Kher talked about his married life and opened up about not having his own kids with Kirron Kher. The actress has a 43-year-old son Sikandar from her first marriage.
Anupam Kher recently appeared on Raj Shamani’s podcast and was asked about his thoughts on not having his own kids. He shared the void he feels and said, “I do a lot of work with children. My foundation does a lot of work. I am fond of children. I used to do a show called ‘Say na something to Anupam uncle’, which was a children’s show. So somebody asked me, ‘do you feel this?’ I said yeah and it’s the truth.”

On being asked about his decision of not having children with Kirron Kher, he explained, “So it didn’t happen at first. Kirron could not conceive it, and then once she conceived, she had to.. sort of… it was not growing in the right manner. I was too busy making it big. I was too busy aur Sikandar acha… abhi bhi acha hai Sikander mere liye (Sikander is still enough for me). He was 4 when he came into my life, when I married Kirron, so I never felt anything missing.”
Further, the actor accepted that he doesn’t have the ‘best marriage in the world’ and has hurt Kirron Kher a few times. Anupam Kher continued to explain that it is absolutely normal for the fire to fade away after some time of being married. All that matters is the intention to work on the relationship.
The actor once stated in an interview with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel that it was not like he was not happy with Sikandar, but he felt that there was a different kind of joy in watching your own child grow up.
