Kirron Kher and Anupam Kher, who tied the knot in 1985, indeed proved that friendship is the basis of all relationships. The couple was good friends before they realized what they share was beyond friendship. This year, they would be completing 37 years of their togetherness. But did you know Kirron married Anupam when ‘he had nothing’ back then? Yes, you read that right! In an old interview, the actress had spilled beans on her love story and revealed how from friends they became soul mates.
In 2013, Kirron in an interview with Firstpost revealed that she and Anupam were very close friends as there was nothing he did not know about her. She too knew everything about him. Divulging more details, the veteran actress revealed when she came to Mumbai, she got married to Gautam Bery, but their marriage ‘was just not happening.

“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.’ I got a divorce and married him. He had nothing then.”
Kirron went on to add that they faced a financial crisis a few years after their marriage. Things got so worse that they had to borrow money from people in the industry. The actress then decided to support Anupam and thus she returned to work.
Kirron Kher was earlier previously married to Gautam Berry. She had son Sikandar Kher from her first marriage.
