Actress and politician Kirron Kher is celebrating her 71st birthday today, June 14. She has proved her mettle as an actor time and again with her powerful performances over the years. She is further known for her candid charm and simplicity. Marking the special occasion, her husband and actor Anupam Kher took to his Twitter handle and dropped a string of unseen pictures of himself, Kirron Kher, and their son Sikandar Kher.
The photographs also featured Abhishek Bachchan, and the late Satish Kaushik, who have been very close to the family.
Anupam Kher's post read, "Happy Birthday #Kirron! May God give you long, happy, peaceful, and healthy life! I have known you for close to fifty years now. I saw you first time in 1974 at Deptt of #IndianTheatre in Chandigarh. You were the star student of #PanjabUniversity. Brilliant in studies, national Badminton player, established theatre actress, and larger than life. 50years have passed. You are still the same or more. You have fought life’s toughest battles head-on. And always emerged out as a winner. May you continue to win people’s love, trust, and faith with your persona and goodness. Love and prayers always. @KirronKherBJP."
