Anupam Kher in his 35-year-old film career has seen several ups and downs, but the actor says he will continue giving his all to films and retirement is nowhere in sight. The 64-year-old actor said one has to be excited about work to be able to continue for long. "You have to be excited about your work. The day you carry the burden of 'veteran', 'legend', 'thespian' (it wouldn't work). You're given these titles to signal it's time to retire. But I won't retire from work even in the next 50 years," the actor said.
For Kher, the key to be a relevant artiste is to approach every film with a clean slate - without any baggage of past laurels. "Everyday when I go to work, I tell myself I don't know anything about acting. That's the only way. If we take pride in our knowledge, we won't learn something new. So I always walk in thinking I don't know anything, it helps a lot. When you're ready to learn from everyone, it's great."
Kher was speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming film, 'One Day.' The actor said once he is done with his international commitment, he will resume work on domestic projects. He currently stars in a New York-based medical drama 'New Amsterdam' from NBC.
