In the video posted on Anupam Kher’s Instagram, the actor can be seen taking swimming lessons. The video starts with the actor saying, “Today is my 68^th Birthday, 8 years back I decided to challenge myself every year to do something where people would stop asking me this stupid question ‘Oh at the age you do this’ this is a cliché question. Last Year I posted a photo of my bare body, which needed guts, so I took up swimming 10 days back”

The actor continued to say, “In 10 days, I think my fear of water has gone, I have not become a swimmer but I can float or I can be in the water without having these panic attacks. We have to find our own horizons, our own courage which will make you say that ‘okay I can do that, let me try that’ I am going to learn swimming, I am going to learn cycling, I am going to run because I want to challenge myself. The idea is to encourage not only 60-plus people but also younger people, though I am scared sometimes in water.”

Concluding the video, the actor shows his progress while he swims in the water and says, there is a famous line, ‘If you try, you risk failure but if you don’t, you ensure it’ so to all the people out there who wants to do something, it’s not about swimming, it's about anything you want to do, do it and now you can all wish me Happy birthday.”

On the work front, Anupam Kher will be seen next in Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency. He will be playing the role of political leader JP Narayan. The film has completed its shoot and is set to hit the theatres.
