Actor Anupam Kher, who has remained uncharacteristically tightlipped about his march against artistes who have returned their awards as a mark of protest against the BJP-led government, has confirmed that he will follow through with his plans. When asked about his plans to undertake a march to Rashtrapati Bhavan on November 7 to protest against artistes, the actor answered cautiously, “Yes, it is a fact. I am undertaking an anti-awards wapsi march on the morning of November 7 to the Rashtrapati Bhavan. I’ve an appointment with the President, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, for 10 am on November 7.And that’s all I am willing to tell you right now.”
When asked how much support he has from within the film and theatre fraternity for his unusual protest against the protesters, the veteran actor shot back, “There is support, of course, thought it may not be direct or open. The march on November 7 is not about numbers. It’s about conviction. Even if I’ve to march alone to Rashtrapti Bhavan on November 7, I’ll do so.”
