There was a time when even Anupam Kher was a big supporter of Arvind Kejriwal. The actor even participated in the 2012 famous India Against Corruption movement which was held by Arvind Kejriwal and activist Anna Hazare.

The actor however withdrew his support from the party later on as he realized that the party’s alignment towards its core principles were deviating.

But he revealed that Anna Hazare at that time had told him to stop Arvind Kejriwal so that he doesn’t become like everyone else.

Anupam Kher also took pot shots at Kejriwal for taking a U-turn later on after coming to power. He took jibes at the former Chief Minister of Delhi for taking every benefit that he initially refused when he was campaigning for election and for even swearing falsely on his children.

“You still talk about Arvind Kejriwal ji? Let me respond…” “Arvind Kejriwal had sworn on his children that he would never enter politics.” “Arvind Kejriwal had said that he will not take government cars.” “Arvind Kejriwal had said he will live in a 2-bedroom flat.” “Arvind Kejriwal is my biggest (disappointment).” “I was strongly associated with his India Against Corruption movement. Anna Hazare even told me: ‘Anupam, stop him. He will become like the others.’” “So don’t give me examples of people who didn’t live up to their promises.”

Anupam Kher was talking in reference to the allegations which were pointed to him by Arvind Kejriwal at the time of the Kashmir Files.

Kejriwal had taken pot shots at the actor and opined that Anupam Kher has earned crores for selling the pain of Kashmiri Pandits. Many would know that Arvind Kejriwal belongs to the left wing while Anupam Kher is a hardcore supporter of the right wing group.
