'It is not me': Anupam Kher gives clarification over viral photo with mother

NEW DELHI: Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher on Monday shared a social media post, giving clarification over a viral photo. The 'Saaransh' actor took to his Instagram handle and shared an old monochromatic picture of a young boy, who closely resembled him, posing for the camera with his mother beside him.

Clarifying the confusion, Anupam wrote, "Story of this pic; This beautiful pic going viral on social media is that of my mother and my brother #Raju. It is not me. Every small city, especially a hill station used to have a famous photo studio. In Shimla, it was Roshan studios. Families once in a few months used to take pictures together and these pictures used to get displayed on the walls of our homes. This is one such pic."

This beautiful pic going viral on social media is that of my mother and my brother @RajuKher1. It is not me. It was shot at #RoshanStudios in Shimla! I have no idea how my brother sneaked a solo picture with Dulari. But it is beautiful. Don’t you agree? #DulariRocks #Trivia pic.twitter.com/3uFxZ8kNLB
