Will only campaign for Kirron: Anupam Kher

NEW DELHI: Anupam Kher feels his wife Kirron, BJP's Lok Sabha nominee from Chandigarh, has the qualities to make a great politician and the veteran actor says he would "definitely" campaign for her.

"I am not associated with any political party. I have only campaigned once that was 25 years ago. But I have known Kirron since 1974. For many years she was my friend and she has been my wife for 28 years. If I campaign for anybody that would only be Kirron and I will definitely go," Anupam, who was in the city to promote his upcoming film 'Gang of Ghosts', said.

The 59-year-old actor believes that Kirron would accomplish great things as a politician.

"She is a fantastic friend, wife and a mother. She is a very good wife and she would be a great politician. I am very proud that she is fighting elections from Chandigarh. She is from Chandigarh and I wish her great luck," he said.

'Gang of Ghosts', directed by Satish Kaushik, is a remake of Bengali blockbuster 'Bhooter Bhabishyat'. It is slated to release on March 21.

Besides Anupam, the comedy also features Sharman Joshi, Mahie Gill, Rajpal Yadav, Chunky Pandey, Saurabh Shukla and sister newcomer Meera Chopra, who is a distant cousin of actresses Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra.

"(The film) is a comedy of characters. It is not a slapstick or situational comedy. The great thing about it is that usually one feels scared about a ghost movie. But here you will fall in love with them. We were lucky and fortunate that we were surrounded by brilliant actors," Anupam said.
