In a new interview, actor Sikander Kher has opened up about the sacrifices made by his mother Kirron Kher.

While the actor was faced with the tough choice he did not take anyone’s name but spoke about his mother. 

On asking to make a choice, Sikander said, “I can’t say that. He has done 500 films. Look at her, she gave up a full career for me.” Elaborating on that, the actor said, “She came to become a leading lady and main paida ho gaya (and then I was born). She didn’t pursue an acting career. She spent the prime of her life in bringing me up. And then when I was old enough, she started. Look at the love she got and the great work she has done.”

In the same conversation, Sikander Kher also shed light on how his mother Kirron Kher has always been candid with her. He recalled, “People were always nice to me, bolte the ki ‘achcha kaam kiya hai (You have done good work),’ halanki (although) it is not necessary that I would believe them. I still don't believe them. I only believe what I hear at home from my mother who is very honest with me. Unhone mujhe kaha tha ek samay ki, ‘Tujhe acting aati hain. Jo kar rahe ho bas lage raho. Warna tere liye kahi na kahi petrol pump khol lete (You know how to act. Do what you do and keep at it. She had once told me that she would have opened a petrol pump if that was not the case)!' She said that if you didn't know how to act we would have told you. She said that you have it so just be at it.”
