Acting needs to be learned, practised: Anupam Kher (see pics)
New Delhi: Acting might come naturally to many, but it is an art that needs to be "learnt" and "practised", says veteran actor Anupam Kher, whose acting academy has been included in a documentary series
"The school, which I started eight years ago, for that to be recognised is not only a great honour for me individually but also a great honour to the country...To achieve this in a short period of eight years is a great feeling," Anupam said.
The actor is excited that his school has been discovered on its own.
"It was not like we sent any entry. They have discovered us on their own. They got in touch with us a few months back; at that time I had no idea who they were," he said.
A versatile actor, Anupam has been seen in a mix of art-house and commercial films like "Saraansh", "Daddy", "Karma", "Darr", "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" and "Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara" in Bollywood.
He has been a part of crossover projects like "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Bride And Prejudice".
Recently, he was seen in Hollywood film "Silver Linings Playbook", which stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.
