Anupam Kher: No one can make poha like how Indore does

Versatile actor has travelled across the globe and tasted world cuisines. But, what he says he can’t forget is the Indore poha-jalebi. The actor, who was in the city recently to promote his The Anupam Kher Show, says, “The place is still deeply-rooted to its traditions and people are so grounded and innocent. This is one of the many things that help me relate with the folks here. Of course, how can I forget the famous poha-jalebi?” He adds, “I’ve travelled a lot while shooting and tasted poha in different forms in different cities. I recently had it in Chennai, too. But, no one can make it like how Indore does. The sweet taste, topped with sev, onions and a lot of other stuff, gives it a different taste altogether.”READ: FTII row: Anupam Kher wants Gajendra Chauhan outKher, with his witty humour, made an instant connect with Indoreans and spent ample time speaking about his show with them. He quips, “I am the prime example of failure; I have lived on streets for years, have starved because I had no money. I understand the pain a struggler goes through. The inside stories of superstars and achievers in this show will give many others hope to rise and fight against all odds to get to their destinations.” The actor, a National School of Drama pass out, is kicked about his play Mere Woh Matlab Nahi Tha.@TOIEntertainSaying that he is eager to host the play in Indore, he adds, “I know the Indoreans’ love for theatre. I’m dying to bring the play to the city.” Kher is also happy with the way cinema has evolved and how it has become more content-driven. He says, “I believe there was a time when audience would watch anything that we brought on the 70mm screen; they didn’t care about the content, script or anything. But slowly, with increasing options in forms of entertainment, they make a choice. Which has forced filmmakers to come up with content-driven fares.”TOIEntertaintimesofindiaThe Times of India EntertainmentWATCH: Anupam Kher is Proud of Wife Kirron Kher
