In a list that includes popular authors like J K Rowling who penned the famous Harry Potter series and Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho, India has found its presence in names like Bollywood veterans Anupam Kher and Mahesh Bhatt. They are two of the three Indians who have been listed as one of the most influential authors by the website Richtopia. Anupam Kher is placed 12th for his book ‘The Best Thing About You Is You’. The actor was recently seen in his debut short film Kheer, which was released on Valentine’s Day and he will soon be seen in Naam Shabana where he will share the screen with Taapsee Pannu, Manoj Bajpayee and Akshay Kumar. The website which noted Anupam Kher as an Actor/Teacher/Author/Motivational Speaker/UN_Women Champion of Gender Equality @HeForShe movement took to Twitter to congratulate him. The CEO of Richtopia Derin Cag, confirmed to indianexpress.com that Anupam Kher has made it into the Top 20 list of most influential authors, and was ranked at the 12th spot, despite the tweet putting him at 6th, a mistake from the end of the website definitely! Other than a spectacular career in Bollywood, Anupam Kher is known for his acting school, his talk show The Anupam Kher Show and more. His work with Terribly Tiny Talkies was a debut into the genre of short films. Kheer released recently and was received well by audience on the YouTube channel.
