Anupam Kher Opens Up on 'Ageism', recalls being age-shamed by a producer

Veteran actor Anupam Kher opened up about ageism in Bollywood, recalling how a big producer once told him that casting him would make a film feel 'old.' He says that after a certain age, actors are typecast into parent roles, and they’re expected to look youthful instead of being appreciated for their craft. Kher also joked that while young actors should polish their acting, older ones must also take care of their bodies. Fans are applauding his honesty.
