Earlier, Anupam took a stroll down the memory lane and recapitulated his earlier career days and credited two prominent Hollywood stars, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino for his career in acting.

The second picture is their recent one where the two legendary stars can be seen indulging in a conversation.

While captioning the post, Anupam revealed that these two stars inspired him to pursue formal training in acting at the National School Of Drama. He also credited the two stars as his inspiration which motivated the Baby actor to open his acting school with the name Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares. At last, he concluded the post by calling them as "International Treasure for the world of cinema."
