Actor Anupam Kher’s brother, Raju Kher, speaks about Anupam Kher’s first marriage to actress Madhumalti Kapoor, saying it lasted only a day or two. According to Raju Kher, the marriage ends abruptly shortly after the ceremonial rites.

Times of India adds that the temple ceremonies conclude and Anupam leaves shortly afterward, despite the engagement having lasted about two to three years. It also notes that Madhumalti Kapoor later marries writer-director Ranjit Kapoor. The reports further state that in 1985, Anupam Kher forms a longer-lasting relationship with actress Kirron Kher, linked to their time in theatre.

NDTV and Times of India both present the same core claim about the first marriage’s very short duration, but differ slightly on how the timeline is described, with NDTV emphasizing the “day or two” length and Times of India providing more context about the engagement and the immediate post-ritual departure.
