Anil Kapoor and Anupam Kher have always shared a friendship that goes beyond film sets, making them one of Bollywood’s most beloved duos. Known for their camaraderie, the two actors frequently catch the attention of fans, and recently, Anil took to social media to express his admiration for his dear friend. Sharing snapshots from their recent gym session, Anil poured praise on Anupam, acknowledging his achievements, drive, and youthful spirit.
Referring to Anupam as the “joker in the pack” and a true “chameleon” in the acting world, Anil highlighted how the actor’s background hasn’t limited him. “The fact that Anupam, once a Hindi-medium student, made a name for himself internationally speaks volumes about his determination,” he wrote. Anil reflected on the journey they’ve shared, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to not only work with Anupam but also to know him on a personal level.

In his post, Anil shared that Anupam’s commitment to fitness is no less impressive. Even at 69, Anupam has the energy and discipline of someone half his age, and Anil vouched for his friend’s ability to keep up in the gym, a space where the two motivate one another. “Trust me, he can push himself just as hard,” Anil added, affirming his admiration for Anupam’s dedication to health and well-being.
The post also served as a heartfelt cheer for Anupam’s upcoming film, Vijay 69, slated for release on November 8. Produced by YRF Entertainment, the film presents Anupam in a unique role—a 69-year-old man who decides to compete in a triathlon, embodying the same resilience and tenacity Anupam shows in real life. Featuring Chunky Panday alongside him, Vijay 69 promises an inspiring narrative about strength and perseverance.
As Anupam marks 40 years in the film industry, Anil’s tribute reflects the affection and respect Bollywood holds for this iconic actor. “By celebrating your 40 years in cinema, the entire industry salutes you…We love you,” Anil signed off, wishing his friend immense success for the film and acknowledging his enduring impact on Indian cinema. Fans and colleagues alike are excited to see Anupam bring another remarkable character to life, in a project that honors both his legacy and unyielding spirit.
