Anupam Kher seemingly took a jibe at Raj Shamani

Anupam Kher appeared on the Chalachitra Talks, to promote his film, Tanvi The Great. While being there, he asked the podcaster if he had watched the film. When the podcaster replied with a 'no', Anupam schooled him, stating that a podcaster should always be aware of the latest work of the person he/she would interview. Anupam Kher further suggested that this statement should be used in the final cut and should not be edited out. Anupam said:

"You should always research your guests and watch their latest films before inviting them. Otherwise, what is the point?"

Anupam Kher indirectly calls Raj Shamani 'fake', and accuses him of editing out interview parts to gain attention

Revealing the reason behind his remark, Anupam Kher shared an incident that occurred when he appeared on a podcast a few days ago. Anupam didn't name Raj Shamani directly, but based on the hints provided by the actor, it was clear who he was referring to. Anupam revealed that the podcaster asked him to provide advice to him. Anupam gave the podcaster advice that no one should let their success change them as a person; rather, they should always remain humble, in fact, humbler with the success they've achieved. The actor could be quoted as saying:

"He asked me, ‘If you had to give me advice, what would it be?’ I didn’t say it on my own. Then I gave him a long piece of advice. I told him, ‘Son, don’t let success change you. Success should mean becoming more humble. While you sound humble, the atmosphere in your office feels different. You’ve come from a small town, and that simplicity should remain.’"

Anupam mentioned that this portion was cut out from the final episode and used in between. Anupam stated that he was disappointed, and thus, whenever that podcaster talks about genuineness, he has questions about that. Tagging that person as 'fake', Anupam said:

"That means he is fake. Because you asked me for advice, and then you cut out the part I said. Whenever I hear him talk about genuineness, I’ll always question that."

Anupam Kher expressed his sadness over not having a kid on Raj Shamani's podcast

Anupam went on to add his experience of hosting a children's show, Say Na Something to Anupam Uncle. He also shared that he often gets questioned by people about whether he feels the absence of kids in his life, to which he can only say that he accepts it.
