For the ones who do not know, here’s a throwback to when Kirron Kher had spoken about her relationship with Anupam Kher, as to how they went from being only friends to a lovely-dovey couple. She had spoken about them during an interview with Firstpost, in the year 2013.
She had described her friendship with Anupam Kher, to which she had said, “We both were in theatre in Chandigarh, and we were the best of friends. There was nothing he did not know about me, and I knew everything about him, up to the extent of knowing which girl he was planning to 'patao'. It was fun and we worked together well too. But there was no attraction of any kind beyond friendship.”
Adding further, she had revealed about the first time when she had encountered Anupam’s feelings for her, after which the actress had begun to feel the same. She had also mentioned the rough phases that the two of them were going through in their respective marriages, at the time when they had met.

She had said, “Well, I came to Bombay, I married Gautam (Berry), and we discovered that the marriage was just not happening. Anupam too had been married, and that had gone wrong. He and I were still good friends, doing plays together. I remember, we were going to Calcutta for Nadira Babbar's play, he came looking different, his head was shaved, for some film he was doing I think. When he was leaving the room, he looked back at me, and something passed between us. Later he came and knocked on my door, and said 'I want to talk to you.' He then said 'I think I have fallen in love with you.' And suddenly there was this immense, intense change, the chemistry exploded. I got a divorce and married him. He had nothing then."
It was after Anupam Kher’s proposal to Kirron, that she had decided to spend a lifetime with him. They had bonded well and continued to remain happily married ever since then. In one of Kirron’s interview, she had spoken about the noticeable differences between the two of them because of belonging to two diverse backgrounds.
