Raju Kher Recalls Losing Savings and Expecting Anupam's Help
Raju Kher said he sold his house and put the money into a television programme.
A new channel was supposed to show the programme, but the channel disappeared before it could happen.
Raju said he lost the money he had invested and worried about paying rent.
He hoped his brother Anupam would help him.
But Anupam had also stopped working while waiting for roles he felt were worthwhile.
Later, Raju heard Anupam talk about a personal regret and understood that his brother had difficulties too.
Raju said this changed how he saw Anupam's situation.
Anupam has also said he has supported Raju for years and that his wife, Kirron, never questioned that support.
Raju Kher said he invested money from selling his house in Life Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega.
The television channel preparing to air the programme disappeared, and Raju said its office was left locked.
Raju recalled struggling to pay rent and thinking his brother Anupam could help him.
Anupam had stopped working because he wanted substantial roles rather than films he considered unsuitable.
Raju later said he understood Anupam also faced personal struggles and had taken his brother for granted.
