During his appearance on Chalchitra Talks, while promoting his film Tanvi the Great, Kher indirectly took a dig at someone he did not name. However, netizens were quick to speculate that he was referring to Raj Shamani, given their recent podcast interaction.

What Anupam Kher Said

He mentioned that he recently appeared on a podcast, where the host asked him to give some advice to him. "I didn't say it on my own. Then I gave him a long piece of advice. I told him, 'Son, don't let success change you. Success should mean becoming more humble. While you sound humble, the atmosphere in your office feels different. You’ve come from a small town, and that simplicity should remain.'"
