He was my biggest fan...: Anupam Kher shares emotional Father's Day tribute to late father Pushkar Nath

Anupam Kher shares an emotional tribute to his late father Pushkar Nath, recalling his wisdom, kindness, and life-changing final words.

"He was my biggest fan. – Anupam Kher"

Mumbai, June 15

Actor Anupam Kher moved fans to tears this Father's Day as he paid an emotional tribute to his late father, Pushkar Nath, through a heartfelt video on social media.

Reflecting on the values and wisdom imparted by his father, Kher spoke candidly about the deep impact his father had on his life, both personally and professionally.

In a self-made video posted to Instagram on Sunday, Kher shared, "Today is officially Father's Day, but I couldn't find any quote or poem that could capture who my father was."

He described Pushkar Nath as the kindest father, someone who never raised his voice, not even once, and remained a pillar of positivity, encouragement, and gentle wisdom throughout his life.

"He was my biggest fan," said Kher, recalling how his father would praise even his weakest performances with pride.

Kher recounted how his father taught him one of life's greatest lessons: "Failure is an event, not a person."

This mantra helped shape Kher's optimistic outlook and his passion for spreading joy, which he now calls his life's motto, "The easiest thing in the world is to make someone happy."

The actor also shared a deeply personal memory of his father's final moments. Struggling to speak due to illness, Pushkar Nath attempted to write something down for his son.

Though his hand failed him, he ultimately whispered two unforgettable words in Anupam's ear, "Live life." These words, Kher says, have since guided every moment of his journey.

In the caption, he wrote, "My dad #Pushkarnath was an ordinary man!! But dad he was extraordinary! On the bed of 'death', he gave me the greatest knowledge of 'life'. This will be the form of God to me! Happy Father's Day to all of you! Hail to all the good dads in the world!"

On the professional front, Anupam Kher is preparing for the release of his directorial project 'Tanvi The Great', scheduled to hit theatres on July 18.

He is also featured in the upcoming ensemble drama 'Metro... In Dino', releasing on July 4.

Additionally, his fourth book, 'Different But No Less', is set to offer more insights into his life philosophy.

This made me tear up! Anupam sir's relationship with his father reminds me so much of my own dad. That line "Failure is an event, not a person" is pure gold. Going to share this with my father right now ❤️

Beautiful tribute! But I wish he had spoken more about how his Kashmiri Pandit background shaped his father's wisdom. That cultural context would have added more depth to the story.

"Live life" - such simple yet powerful last words! This reminds me of my nana ji who always said "Zindagi jeene ka tareeka seekho" (Learn how to live life). Indian fathers have this special way of imparting wisdom in few words.

While the tribute is touching, I find it ironic how Bollywood celebrities share such personal moments publicly. Some emotions are meant to be private, no? 🤔 Still, respect for the values his father taught him.

As someone who lost her father last year, this hits home. That unconditional support Anupam ji describes - cheering even weak performances - is so typically Indian dad! Mine would proudly show my kindergarten drawings to guests when I was 25 😂 Missing him extra today.

The part about making someone happy being the easiest thing - this is the India I know and love! In our culture, we're taught to find joy in others' happiness. More power to Anupam sir for keeping his father's teachings alive through his work.
