Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher on Monday said he will never join politics. In an informal chat with the local media, he said, "The question of his joining politics does not arise." In reply to a question regarding talks of his contesting last Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh in 2017, Kher said, "If you shake hand with a person, people start arriving at a conclusion according to their convenience". Known for making comments on current issues of the country, Kher reiterated that he would not join politics at all.
To a question, he said his wife Kirron Kher is better know. The BJP MP from Chandigarh, Kirron Kher, is suffering from blood cancer. Anupam Kher said there are several side-effects of chemotherapy but her will-power is "very strong".
For those unversed, Anupam Kher in April broke the news that his wife has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer.
