Everyone knows that The Kashmir Files has not only dominated the box office but has also captured the hearts of millions of people with its story and execution.

Anupam Kher is the actor who has been praised for his outstanding performance in The Kashmir Files. While his art is being praised by people all over the world, he is also honouring his late father, who was also from Kashmir.

Dedicating his performance to his father, Anupam Kher wrote, “this was my last pic with my father #PushkarNath Ji. He passed away after 11days. The simplest soul on earth. Never hurt anybody. Touched everyone’s life with his kindness. An ordinary man. But an extraordinary father. He longed to go to his home in Kashmir but couldn’t! We miss him! My performance in #TheKashmirFiles is dedicated to him. #KashmiriHindu.”
