Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently had a memorable encounter with legendary actor Kamal Haasan at the Delhi Airport, and he couldn’t help but share his admiration publicly. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) profile, Kher posted a picture of the two icons together and penned a heartfelt note praising Haasan’s immense contribution to Indian cinema.
In his post, Anupam Kher described Kamal Haasan as “one of the finest actors of Indian cinema” and revealed that the two spent nearly an hour together in the airport lounge. What started as a chance meeting soon turned into a deep, meaningful conversation that, according to Kher, felt like “speaking about a lifetime” within just sixty minutes.
Kher shared that their discussion covered a wide range of topics, including world cinema, the legacy of legendary filmmaker K. Balachander, important life lessons, favourite books, and of course, the cinematic greatness of Rajinikanth. Calling it a “rich conversation”, Kher expressed gratitude for Haasan’s wisdom, warmth, and appreciation.
The photograph accompanying the post shows both actors smiling warmly in the airport lounge. Anupam Kher, dressed casually in jeans and a leather jacket, stands alongside Kamal Haasan, who sports a textured blazer, reflecting their effortless camaraderie and shared passion for storytelling, despite never having worked together on a film.
Kher’s admiration for Haasan resonates deeply with cinema lovers, given Haasan’s extraordinary career spanning over 280 films across multiple languages and five National Film Awards. Kamal Haasan’s journey into socially bold and performance-driven cinema began under the mentorship of K. Balachander, who introduced him as a leading man in Apoorva Raagangal in 1975—a film that redefined narrative boundaries in Indian cinema.
The interaction stands as a beautiful example of cross-industry respect and artistic brotherhood, highlighting how great cinema transcends language, region, and industry boundaries. Fans of both actors praised the moment, calling it a rare and inspiring meeting of two masters of the craft.
