Anupam Kher Says Elderly Are Not Irrelevant; Experience Never Retires
Anupam Kher questions why the elderly are called ‘irrelevant’, says ‘experience never retires’ · thehansindia.com

Anupam Kher is a very famous actor in India.

He made a video on Instagram about older people.

Some people call old people 'irrelevant' or 'useless,' and he thinks that is wrong.

He asked funny questions, like whether God sends a message to people after they turn 70.

He said young people have lots of energy, speed, and new ideas, which is wonderful.

But older people have something else that is very important: experience.

Experience means you already know how to handle many situations because you have lived through them.

He pointed out that many famous people over 70, like Meryl Streep and James Cameron, are still making amazing things.

He called older people the memory bank of society, like a living library.

He wants everyone to remember that being old does not mean your time is over.
