In the heart-warming post, Anupam recalled the memories of his drama school days where he considered The Irishman actor his inspiration to start a journey in acting.

While recalling the moment when he posed with the actor for the picture he shared, Anupam wrote that as always his urge to get himself clicked with his idol started coming out once the shooting was done.

Earlier, Anupam took a stroll down the memory lane and recapitulated his earlier career days and credited two prominent Hollywood stars, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino for his career in acting.

The second picture is their recent one where the two legendary stars can be seen indulging in a conversation.
While captioning the post, Anupam revealed that these two stars inspired him to pursue formal training in acting at the National School Of Drama. He also credited the two stars as his inspiration which motivated the Baby actor to open his acting school with the name Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares. At last, he concluded the post by calling them as "International Treasure for the world of cinema."
