Anupam Kher: Stardom brings loneliness if you live in ivory tower. Actor Anupam Kher, 71, on a 45-day US-Canada theatre tour with play 'Jaane Pehchaane Anjaane', said he avoids the burden of stardom by living normally. The musical, directed by Gajendra Ahire, explores loneliness and relationships in modern life. Kher noted a global 'loneliness epidemic' fuelled by mobile phones and the internet replacing human touch.
