Recently, noted actor Anupam Kher performed his hugely successful Hindi play “Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai,” which is autobiographical in nature. Tata Theatre at the NCPA was packed to the gills. The audience cheered Anupam, who was performing solo, at every stage, adding to the experience. In one part of the play, Anupam disclosed something about his life which was deeply moving. He revealed that for one year he taught at the Dilkush school for the specially-abled at Juhu. Twice a week he went there, mixed with the children and taught them.
