Anupam Kher Day in Las Vegas: How a Shimla Boy Got a City-Declared Honour 11 Years Ago

Some honours don’t just sit on a shelf — they live in your heart forever. That’s exactly how Anupam Kher described the day Las Vegas, the world’s entertainment capital, declared September 10 as “Anupam Kher Day” in his name.

A Small-Town Boy’s Big City Moment

Kher took to social media to revisit this milestone, marking 11 years since the honour was first bestowed. Despite decades of awards and recognition, he called this one uniquely special — a moment that still fills him with disbelief and gratitude. Born and raised in Shimla, Kher has often spoken about how far his journey has taken him, and this civic honour from Las Vegas remains one of its most surreal chapters.

In his heartfelt note, Kher gave full credit to Indian cinema for shaping his identity and giving him the platform to reach such heights globally. His signature sign-off, “Jai Ho,” capped off a post brimming with humility and pride.
