Anupam Kher pulls out as FTII Chairman citing due to busy schedule

Back on 11th October last year, Anupam Kher took over Gajendra Chauhan’s position of being the chairman of FTII. And since then, the star has already reportedly put in his resignation from the position.

On being appointed as chairman of FTII, Kher had posted on Twitter, “I feel deeply humbled and honoured to be appointed as the Chairman of iconic #FTII. I will perform my duties to the best of my abilities.”

Kher had even told Times Of India, “How I can enhance, how I can make my contribution, that is what is important.” Adding further, “It’s a very important day for me as seldom it happens that you become chairman of the place where you once were a student. I am not going to start this journey thinking about the previous things. I am a very hopeful person and I have never begun anything while thinking about any controversy or negativity. I will go with a clear mind and do as much work as I can. The teacher inside me will teach the students some things and in return I will also learn a lot from them. For me, this tenure will be an extremely important learning experience. It’s important to have the right intention, which I have. I will go there and see what is to be done.”

Kher, mostly in news for his portrayal of Dr. Manmohan Singh on screen through his upcoming film ‘The Accidental Prime Minister,’ has quoted his ‘busy schedule’ as the reason of resigning from the highly regarded post, reports Deccan Chronicle.
Apart from ‘The Accidental Prime Minister,’ Kher also runs his theatre company ‘Actor Prepares’ with various projects on the go.
