Anupam Kher Completes First Schedule of Shri Ram Bhoomi in Ayodhya: “A Part of Me Stayed Behind”
Anupam Kher has wrapped up the first shooting schedule of his highly anticipated film, Shri Ram Bhoomi, in the sacred city of Ayodhya. On July 17, 2026, the veteran actor took to social media to express his heartfelt reflections on the experience, describing it as a journey that has enriched him both spiritually and personally. Kher’s emotional note resonated with many, as he shared the profound impact Ayodhya has had on him.
A Journey of Spiritual Enrichment
In his post, Kher, who portrays the late Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal in the film, conveyed a deep connection to the city. He wrote in Hindi, “After completing the first schedule of Shri Ram Bhoomi, I am returning from Ayodhya. But honestly, it feels as though a part of me has stayed behind.” His words reflect a sentiment that goes beyond mere filming; they capture a spiritual bond with the location.
Kher elaborated on the significance of his experience, stating, “I am returning with not just beautiful memories, but also a deeper understanding of Sanatan Dharma, spiritual enrichment, and the pride of being part of a film that is trying to present both history and faith with complete honesty.” His reflections highlight the film’s intention to honor both historical and spiritual narratives.
Ayodhya: More Than Just a City
The actor emphasized that Ayodhya transcends its geographical boundaries. He remarked, “Ayodhya is not a city, it is an emotion. Every street, every corner, every home, every temple, and every breath here echoes just one name, Shri Ram.” This powerful statement underscores the city’s cultural and spiritual significance, which Kher experienced firsthand during his time there.
Kher’s visit to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and his interactions with the local community further deepened his connection to Ayodhya. He shared, “The darshan at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, the affection of the people here, and the energy of this sacred land have enriched me not only as an actor but also as a human being. I truly believe Ayodhya will always remain a part of my soul.”
Gratitude for a Memorable Experience
In concluding his heartfelt note, Kher expressed gratitude to the people of Ayodhya, the saints who blessed him, and his friends Yatindra and Manjari Mishra for their warm hospitality. He also thanked director Kamakhaya Narayan Singh, cinematographer Aseem Bajaj, and every member of the film’s unit for making the journey unforgettable.
