Mahesh Bhatts Emotional Letter to Anupam Kher Celebrates His Journey from Saaransh to Ramayana

Mumbai, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : Anupam Kher has recently received widespread acclaim for his portrayal of Jatayu in the newly released film “Ramayana.” In light of his success, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt took the opportunity to express his admiration through a heartfelt letter.

In his message, Bhatt celebrated Kher’s impressive journey, which began with his role as B.V. Pradhan in the 1984 film “Saaransh” and has now culminated in the character of Jatayu. Kher shared the letter on his Instagram, where Bhatt reflected on the actor’s transformation and expressed pride in his accomplishments.

Bhatt wrote, “What a journey it has been from B.V. Pradhan in ‘Saaransh’ to Jatayu in ‘Ramayana.’ Your rise and continuous progress are inspiring. Seeing you in Sweden brings me joy. It feels like that experience has settled within you. You seem transformed; I’ve noticed how you greet people, giving them your full attention.”

He continued, reminiscing about Kher’s earlier days: “The Pradhan in ‘Saaransh’ scattered his son Ajay’s ashes, and now he plays with children, just as you envisioned. That was your moment of aging. Life has touched you, and glimpses of that moment still reside in your eyes, body, and heart.”

Bhatt also reflected on their past conversations, recalling a time when Kher was a 28-year-old actor and a 34-year-old filmmaker discussing dreams in Bhatt’s courtyard. “What did we give each other that day? I never imagined it would lead to this. You bring me immense happiness,” he wrote.

In closing, Bhatt expressed a profound sentiment: “I feel like the person who once held your hand, now watching you reach heights I could never take you to. Somewhere, a boy from a village will see you and gather the courage to chase his seemingly impossible dreams. What more can I ask for, Anupam? Just lots of love, Mahesh Bhatt.”
