Anupam Kher ‘deeply moved’ as Ishan Kishan names actor for strength during tough times Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan revealed during a mentalist performance that veteran actor Anupam Kher inspired him during a difficult period in his life. The moment occurred when mentalist Suhani Shah asked Kishan, “In your low phase, who gave you courage?” Kishan responded by naming Kher, leaving the audience stunned. Kishan initially expressed disbelief, questioning how Kher, someone he had never met, could have influenced him. Anupam Kher shared his reaction to the acknowledgment, emphasizing that he had never met Kishan or engaged in any direct conversation with him. In a social media post, he described the experience as deeply humbling. He wrote, “Sometimes life surprises you in the most beautiful and humbling way. The brilliant mentalist Suhani Shah asked ace cricketer #IshanKishan a simple yet powerful question — ‘In your low phase, who gave you courage?’ And to my absolute surprise… he said- #AnupamKher!! I have never met Ishan. We have never shared a conversation.” Kher highlighted the significance of the moment, noting that the connection between them was invisible yet meaningful. He stated, “Yet somewhere, silently, through the life I have lived, the choices I have made, and the belief I have carried — I could reach him. That, to me, is deeply moving.” He also reflected on three key truths: the brilliance of Suhani Shah’s intuition, the quiet connections people share, and the importance of perseverance. Kher expressed gratitude for the recognition, calling it a humbling experience. He added, “I am humbled. I am grateful. And I feel a renewed sense of responsibility. Thank you, @ishankishan23. Keep shining. Keep fighting. Because sometimes… your story becomes someone else’s strength.#cricket #ishan_kishan #anupam_kher #suhani_shah #mentalism
