In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Anupam Kher opened up about missing out on the experience of having a child of his own. He shared, “I didn’t feel it that much before, but now sometimes I do feel like it. I think in the last seven-eight years. It`s not like, I am not happy with Sikander, but I think it`s a joy to see a child growing up. It`s a joy to see bonding; this is an honest answer. I could have avoided answering this, but I don’t want to do that. But, it’s okay. It’s not a tragedy in my life. But, I sometimes feel it would have been a nice thing.”
