Anupam Kher gets honorary doctorate in Hindu Studies

Renowned actor Anupam Kher has been conferred with an honorary doctorate in Hindu studies by the Hindu University of America.

The Florida-based university conferred upon Kher the Degree of Honorary Doctor of Philosophy in Hindu Studies at a special event.

“I feel humbled and honored to receive this doctorate. It will have a very prestigious place and will always be one of the major highlights of my life. The doctorate will give me a platform to talk about the philosophy of Hinduism, the philosophy of the oldest culture in the world,” Kher said.

When the Hindu University of America approached him for the honor, the 66-year-old actor said he wanted to accept the award. “First of all, the kind of work that people are doing over here in the field of education, especially the teachings of Hinduism that I believe in and have grown up with, I thought it was an honor that I had to accept,” he added.
