His acting journey kicked off in 1984 with the movie “Saaransh,” directed by Mahesh Bhatt. In this film, Kher portrayed the role of a 65-year-old retired teacher who loses his son. Despite being just 29 at the time, Kher’s portrayal earned him widespread praise and several awards.

Kher’s international recognition soared with films like “Bend It Like Beckham,” “Bride and Prejudice,” and “Lust, Caution.” He continued to diversify his portfolio with roles in various languages, including Marathi and Punjabi.
