Talking about Anupam Kher ,the actor is coming out with his autobiography, "Lessons Life Taught Me Unknowingly" that is set to hit stands on August 5.

Publishers Penguin Random House said the book will be an "extraordinary, riveting and no-holds-barred saga" in which Kher will make some behind-the-scenes revelations, and share anecdotes and rare nuggets from his life and the lessons it taught him. 

The 64-year-old actor started his career with films such as "Saaransh" and "Daddy" in India, and went on to feature in mainstream Hollywood films such as "Silver Linings Playbook", "Hotel Mumbai", "The Big Sick" and "The Family Man" and has worked with directors such as Ang Lee, David O.

The book is expected to offer a kaleidoscopic peep into the life and times of the actor and the entertainer that Kher is. 

"He has always been distinct and offbeat. His autobiography is, too... For it is not just another chronological account of his life. It is, in fact, also peppered with incredible life lessons that are bound to resonate with every aspiring artiste and, most of all, the common man," Penguin added
