Presented it to Mom,” Kher captioned the clip.
Sharing his mother’s feelings, Kher said in the clip, “My father was a clerk in the Forest Department here. All our life we have lived in government quarters and rented houses and due to some reasons I could not buy a property here.
“Today I’ve come to Shimla. I’ve bought a small house here which I want to gift to my mother. And she is really happy.
She has been teary-eyed since yesterday. She said this is the most beautiful thing that could have happened. I wish my dad was here.
