\"Anupam A dream holiday turned into a suspense thriller for Anupam Kher<\/a> and he didn\u2019t even need a film script. Kher whose latest directorial, ‘Tanvi The Great’ just released in theatres and is getting rave reviews, is also a great story teller off-screen. Anupam has acted in more than 500 movies in his career and is equally passionate about being behind the camera. No wonder, he has lots of stories to tell and some are quite funny. Recounting a nerve-wracking episode from years ago, the veteran actor shared how a seemingly harmless item in his luggage triggered chaos at the Los Angeles airport. He and his wife, Kirron Kher<\/a>, were touring the US with their play, shortly after the 9\/11 attacks. Kher said in a recent interview with Filmfare, that he had unknowingly packed incense sticks\u2014what he fondly calls dhoop\u2014in his shaving kit. \u201cMaine kisi din\u2026 dhoop hota hai na. Dhoop, agarbatti woh shaving ke samaan mein rakh diya hoga,\u201d he recalled, explaining how the spiritual item found itself among his toiletries.<\/p>\n

Kirron Kher\u2019s Rare Appearance Stuns Fans | Supports Anupam Kher at ‘Tanvi The Great’ Premiere<\/p>\n

As they were preparing to fly from LA to San Francisco, Kirron cleared the security check, but Anupam\u2019s bag caught attention. Officers pulled it aside and zeroed in on the mysterious item. \u201cSo we were coming LA to San Francisco and Kiran had crossed the security check and she was waiting for me. And these security people opened my bag and they found something in my shaving kit. And I had completely forgotten what was there. So he took it out and started smelling it. Then he asked his colleague, \u2018Is this what I think it is?\u2019 So he also smelled and said yes.\u201d Things escalated fast. \u201cAnd then he suddenly said to me, \u2018Step aside, step aside and hands up please.\u2019 He asks me, \u2018What is this?\u2019 And I say, \u2018Don\u2019t know.\u2019 And suddenly wahan se awaaz aati hai \u2018Kya hai ye?\u2019\u201d he narrated. The language switch only heightened suspicion. Soon enough, security guards on bikes swooped in, guns drawn. Kirron, always one to react candidly, didn\u2019t hold back her shock. \u201cAnd she went, \u2018Charas lekar ghoom rahe ho?\u2019\u201d Anupam recalled her blunt reaction, laughing at her disbelief. \u201c(You\u2019re roaming around with hashish?)\u201d He joked, \u201cAgar main bach gaya inn logon se toh main bahar nikal ke divorce de dunga.\u201d Fortunately, help came in the form of a Bangladeshi airport employee, who immediately recognised the fragrance. \u201cHe explained that we use this in pooja and for god. Par meri toh zubaan hi chali gayi thi kyunki woh wahan se bole ja rahi thi \u2018Kya lekar ghoom rahe ho wahan par? Pagal ho gaye kya tum?\u2019\u201d Anupam remembered, still amused and slightly mortified.Recently on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Kher also opened up on not having his biological children with Kirron. He said he’s quite happy with Sikandar. For those not in the know, Kirron was earlier married to Gautam Berry and Sikandar is their biological son. Kher was earlier married to Madhumalti Kapoor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A dream holiday turned into a suspense thriller for Anupam Kher and he didn\u2019t even need a film…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[21348,21345,21342,21344,88,21346,21343,21347,206,21349],"class_list":["post-23926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-9-11-attacks","tag-airport-security-drama","tag-anupam-kher","tag-anupam-kher-airport-incident","tag-entertainment","tag-incense-sticks","tag-kirron-kher","tag-los-angeles-airport","tag-movies","tag-suspense-thriller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
