her performances for the roles of a
sister-in-law, daughter and daughter-in-law

When Anupam Kher learned a life
lesson in the ninth standard!
Clearly, he has had a rollercoaster
of a ride through his 35-
year-long film journey, since his
1984 breakthrough with
Saaransh. And that’s exactly
what Anupam Kher has tried to
capture in his new autobiography,
Lessons Life Taught Me,
Unknowingly. Although the
book has him sharing anecdotes
and rare nuggets from his life as
well as the lessons it taught him,
the actor maintains the idea was
not to “make it sensational”. “I
strongly believe you have to live
life with your own values and
that you should be able to look at
yourself in the mirror with pride.
So, the book is very funny and
has great entertainment, but I
have tried not to make it sensational.
Though a lot of people
asked me about it, that was not
my intention. In the book, I have
narrated some incidents from my
life which needed to be told the
way I have mentioned them. But
I am very clear that I can’t tell
my truth at somebody else’s
inconvenience. So, I have
changed a few names and also
concealed their identities,” says
the actor.
The Silver Linings Playbook
(2012) actor says he has mentioned
the names of people who
he has dealt with at the professional
level, but changed the
identities of those he has had a
rendezvous with in the personal
sphere. Ask him what’s been his
biggest life lesson till date, and
Kher goes back to his school
days to recount a story when he
was in Class IX. “I remember I
was in ninth standard, and had
taken the report card to my
father. He looked at it and told
me that my rank was 59. He then
asked me about the strength of
my class. When I told him it’s
60, I was scared despite the fact
that he never hit me physically,”
says the actor, adding “after taking
a pause”, his father gave him
a “lesson that he still swears by”.
“He explained to me that the
student who ranked first would
always run the risk of coming
second every year and face failure.
But someone, who is in the
59th position, can always work
hard and reach the 30th or 40th
position. My dad said, ‘Next
time, your rank should be 48 and
not 59’. And that was such a
great lesson as I then understood
the meaning of failure,” he adds.
Sunny Leone surprised by Nawazuddin’s dancing skills
Mumbai, Actress Sunny
Leone says she was surprised

soundtrack from the very first
time I heard it. A catchy tune, that
really grows on you, ‘Battiyan
bujhaado’ is a full-blown dance
song, that will surely be on every
party’s playlist. And shooting the
song with Nawaz, with whom I
am sharing a screen for the first
time, was an
extremely enjoyable
experience,”
Sunny said.
“He has quite
surprised me
with how sporting
and fun he
can be at dancing,
on and offscreen,
which the
audience will see
when the song
launches today,” she added.
“Motichoor Chaknachoor” is
about a young NRI husbandobsessed
bride and a desperate
groom Pushpinder (Nawazuddin).

girl who is looking for a green
card holder groom. Pushpinder,
the eager to get married boy, is
