Actor Anupam Kher is an avid social media user. He frequently shares pictures and videos of the numerous experiences he has had with the cross section of the society. Now, in his recent post, the actor shared a video of a wholesome encounter that transpired during his mundane commute. He interacted with a street vendor named Raju, who was selling combs at a modest price of Rs 20. Mr Kher engaged in a banter with the old man and even hilariously trolled himself saying that he doesn't need a comb, but decided to buy one from the vendor when he told him it's his birthday.
Sharing the video on Instagram, Mr Kher wrote, "BALD AND BEAUTIFUL!! Funny Encounter in Mumbai: Raju sells combs on the streets of Mumbai! I will never have a reason to buy a comb. But it was his birthday. And he felt if I buy one it will be a good beginning for him. I was sure he had seen better days in life. His smile was infectious and inspirational! If you ever see him please buy his combs. Doesn't matter if you have hair or not! He will brighten your day with his simple persona!"

"How sweetly he acknowledged a Celebrity like Anupam jee and was so happily happy that he was talking to a Celebrity and yet he did not do anything big about it. So many of the people out there should learn his calm and poise. He chose to work instead of begging," wrote one user.
