Gifting Mom: A Risky Business
Veteran actor Anupam Kher has once again won over the internet, this time with a sweet and funny post about his mother, Dulari Kher. On his X handle, the actor shared a relatable observation that had everyone nodding: buying a gift for your mother is always a gamble. According to the post, whether it’s a shawl, a sari, or even a packet of samosas, the chances of her actually using it are pretty slim. Mothers first admire the gift with joy, show it off to every family member, and then tuck it away in such a ‘safe spot’ that it might never be seen again. The actor’s playful take on this universal mom behaviour struck a chord with many.
When Mom Did an Unscripted Ramp Walk
But the post quickly turned from humorous to heartwarming. Anupam described the lively scene at his home — young family members running around, his niece coming and going, the cheerful domestic chaos. And in the middle of all that, his mother Dulari suddenly did a ramp walk with her new gift. That unscripted moment, the actor said, stopped him in his tracks. He realised that this isn’t just his home — it’s the story of 90% of India’s middle-class homes. In these homes, love isn’t measured by expensive presents but by small gestures: a mother quietly planning her grown child’s favourite meal, a room filled with noise and laughter.
Home Is Where Mom Does a Ramp Walk
Anupam wrapped up his post with a memorable line that perfectly captured the spirit of family: ‘Every room is filled with a bit of noise, a bit of laughter, a bit of banter, and a whole lot of love.’ He concluded, ‘Home is where Mom is doing a ramp walk with her new gift and the whole family is clapping like an audience.’ The post went viral almost instantly, with fans and fellow celebrities showering love on Dulari Kher’s adorable moment. On the work front, the actor was last seen in his self-directed film ‘Tanvi: The Great’ and has two big releases coming in 2026 — ‘The India House’ on June 4 and ‘Khosla Ka Ghosla 2’ on August 28.
