Actor-director Raju Kher has said his elder brother Anupam Kher did not support him financially after he lost money in a failed television project. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Raju recalled selling his house and investing in a programme titled ‘Life Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega’ for a new channel, but the venture went wrong, leaving him without funds. mid-day.com reports that Raju felt disappointed that Anupam did not help him during that crisis.
In a separate interview with the same platform, reported by Times of India, Raju recalled that when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2004, Anupam immediately left his work abroad, returned to Mumbai, and took him to Lilavati Hospital. Anupam covered all medical expenses without Raju’s knowledge. Raju called his brother a “father figure” who has always given him a sense of security. Raju also said his sister-in-law Kirron Kher is “alright” and only requires an injection for her treatment.
