Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he remembered his meeting with the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, during the global icon’s visit to India in 1996. Sharing a throwback photo on social media, Kher opened up about the moment when he shook hands with the music legend.
Posting the picture on social media, the actor penned a note, recalling how the brief encounter left a lasting impression on him. “Dearest Michael Jackson, This photograph is not just a memory. it is a feeling frozen
in time. I still remember the moment I shook your hand in Mumbai. For that brief second, the fanboy in me took over completely.”
Describing the experience as magical and almost unreal, Kher added that meeting Jackson felt like coming face-to-face with something extraordinary. “like touching a piece of magic. You were not just an artist. You were an experience. A phenomenon that the world may never witness again.”
Kher’s tribute highlighted the singer’s global impact and enduring influence. “There will truly be nobody like you for the next thousand years. Nobody. We are blessed. deeply blessed. that you walked this earth and touched millions of lives with your art, your innocence, and your genius. You were, and will always remain, the eighth wonder of the world.”
