Among
the
many
non-cinema
activities
that
now
occupy
Anupam
Kher"s
time
and
space
the
one
he
is
most
excited
about
is
the
Power
Within
project.
It"s
a
nationwide
chain
of
workshops
that
Anupam
will
start
next
year.
These
would
be
a
haven
for
healing
nurturing
and
nursing
the
human
spirit
back
to
health.
Explains
Anupam,
“My
idea
of
these
spiritual
clinics
came
about
when
I
lectured
on
the
subject
of
self-actualization
some
time
ago.
So
many
of
us
specially
from
the
small
towns
suffer
from
low
self-esteem.
When
I
came
to
Mumbai
to
become
an
actor
I
was
made
to
feel
small
about
everything,
from
my
broken
English
to
my
lack
of
table
manners.
That"s
when
I
realized,
'F..k
it,
I
don"t
need
people"s
approval.
I
need
to
like
myself
to
be
comfortable
with
my
own
personality.
That"s
what
the
Power
Within
workshops
will
strive
to
achieve."
For
starters
Anupam
will
enroll
some
of
his
colleagues
from
the
film
industry
who
admit
to
being
low
on
self
worth.The
chain
of
workshops
will
go
global
after
opening
in
India
next
year.
Anupam
feels
his
play
Kuch
Bhi
Ho
Sakta
Hai
has
taught
him
to
value
his
failures
as
well
as
his
successes.
An
exhibition
held
on
Tuesday
highlighted
one
endeavor
by
a
painter
to
understand
the
importance
of
Anupam"s
failures.
Says
Anupam,
“Geeta
Dass
did
not
paint
me
as
a
hero.
She
portrayed
my
failures
in
the
exhibition.
That"s
what
I
liked." The
chief
guest
at
the
exhibition
was
none
other
than
Amitabh
Bachchan.
“I
didn"t
have
to
ask
him
more
than
once.
He
immediately
responded
and
agreed.
What
really
sets
the
failures
apart
from
their
successes
is
the
way
you
cope
with
time
and
people.
Deriving
pleasure
in
making
people
wait
for
your
response
is
not
a
sign
of
importance.
It
just
show
how
small
you
are
in
your
self-important
space."
