Anupam Kher meets school friend after 50 years on way to Shimla; calls it 'pure joy'

Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher, on late Wednesday night, took to his verified social media handle and shared a multiple-video-picture post to give a peek into his reunion with a school friend after 50 years. Interestingly, the first slide featured a video, in which he stepped out of his car and greeted his friend. He later introduced him as Anil Dutta, a friend whom he last met when they were in 11th grade, to his mother. In the video, the actor also added that his friend was a topper and always secured the first rank while he used to come last.

In the second and third slides, the Chaalbaaz actor can be seen posing with them. Giving a brief of his post, Anupam wrote a caption, which read, "On my way to Shimla I was delighted to meet in Solan my school friend #AnilDutta after 50 long years. The last we had seen each other was when we were in 11th grade in 1971". He further added, "We connected in the pandemic. It was wonderful to meet his wife Hena and our other school friend #JaiGopal and their families. School friends are the bestest". The veteran actor also hashtagged "School", "Old Friends" and "Pure Joy".
