Mumbai: Two national awards, eight Filmfare awards, Padam Shri and 11 other awards – this is just a count that continues when it comes to actor Anupam Kher.
Adding another feather to his cap, the actor was honoured by the Presidential Award of Global Indian by Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa recently in Colombo.
Anupam got this award at the FICCI-IIFA Global Leadership Forum which was being held in Sri Lanka.
“It is an honour to receive this award. Sri Lankan government has now requested me to open a branch of my acting school – Actor Prepares there as well,” said Kher.
The 55-years-old actor was awarded for going beyond his call of duty as an actor and starting an institute like Actor Prepares, to prepare upcoming actors in their cinematic journey. And for years of accomplishments as an actor who has crossed boundaries with his versatile performances using the language of cinema.
