"I have always felt inspired to be an actor. I have really worked hard for it. I went to a drama school, did a three-year training, and then I went to a film institute. Then, on May 25, 1984, my first film was released and in the last 36 years, I have done 517 films. But, I have always wanted to feel intelligent. So, I said what should I do? So, I thought I should become an author. But, I think in Hindi and how do I become an author. So, the best thing will be using my experiences by penning them down. So, that's how my first book, The best thing about you is you came." The Last Show: Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik Share How Their Film on Friendship Was Shot In COVID-19 Pandemic (Watch Video)
