Anupam Kher was left teary-eyed after Mahesh Bhatt read out excerpts from his book. "This is a very rare love story. What UG was to Mahesh, Mahesh is to me," he tells us.

He showed us a copy of the book, which Bhatt had autographed for him. It read: 'Anupam, you have the power to stand alone.'

"I get very moved by unadulterated feelings," Kher said. "Bhattsaab not only gave me a career graph but also a philosophy of life. He has been like a father to me. Through Saaransh, he gave a lead on how to lead a life."

So what is his taste of life? "Taste of life for me is pungent, bitter and sweet. It has all the navratas (nine ingredients)," he signs off.
