When discussing her first marriage to Gautam Berry and how her love for Anupam had grown she had said: Well I arrived in Bombay wed Gautam and later learned that the marriage was simply not working.

We were traveling to Calcutta to see Nadira Babbar's show when I recall that he arrived looking different and had I believe shaved his head for a film he was working on. He turned to look at me as he was exiting the room and something happened between us.

When I appeared in a play in ninth grade I discovered my calling. They gave someone else my lines because I couldn't deliver them well. But he neglected to utter them throughout the play! I then made up something in my shaky English and the audience laughed uncontrollably said he. 

Anupam adored performing on stage and desired to become an actor. I came across an advertisement for a course in Chandigarh and the audition fee was Rs 100.

Before I saw an advertisement for a theater school in Mumbai I had been teaching for two years he claimed.

The actor relocated to the city of dreams Mumbai but soon discovered that the theater school was cash-strapped. When I arrived I saw that they were poor; they provided me with a small classroom and cramped lodging. I didn't want to repeat my mistake. So while attending performances and trying out for roles I taught there. It was difficult because I briefly had no work money or assistance. I had to sleep on platforms and live on beaches he claimed.

His joy however was short-lived when he learned he had been replaced. Mahesh Bhatt confirmed it to be genuine when I called him. I made the decision to return home because I was unable to handle it. But first I approached Mahesh Bhatt and informed him that he was mistaken in thinking that anyone else could perform the role as well as me.
