Some Lesser Known Facts About Hemant Kher
Does Hemant Kher drink alcohol?: YesÂ
Hemant Kher is a National School of Drama alumnus who has also worked as an actor, writer, creative director, and acting coach in various movies and TV shows.
Since childhood, he was a movie buff. He would collect the reels that were thrown away by cinema theatres and join them. He would then show the reels to his friends by projecting them on a white sheet with the help of a torch and a magnifying glass in a stable that was owned by his family.

According to him, there used to be an extra period after school where he would entertain his friends by mimicking his teachers and other students. Hemant went on stage for the very first time in the third standard when he played the role of Shravan Kumar (a mythological character from the Indian epic âRamayana) during an annual function. He instantly fell in love with the craft.
Although Hemant desperately wanted to become an actor, he wasnât able to find a suitable platform to pursue his dream; however, in twelfth standard, he accidentally came across a brochure of the National School of Drama that belonged to his teacher. After going through the brochure, he found out that to get admission in the NSD, he needed to complete his graduation.
Hemant was very active on stage during his college years. He failed in the third year of his graduation, but he was happy that he got more time to do theatre in college.
After completing his graduation, he applied for admission into NSD, but his efforts went in vain the first time; however, he succeeded when he applied for the second time. His experience at NSD was exuberant. He played the role of the protagonist in many plays while he was studying in NSD.

After graduating from NSD, the Scam 1992 actor wanted to try his luck in the dream city Mumbai; however, his parents did not consider acting as a viable career option. In an interview, while talking about his journey of becoming an actor, he said,
I am from a farmer family background. My grandparents had a lot of debt so the income of parents mostly went into liquidation of those debts. So it was a very uneasy situation for me. I couldnât ask my parents for money to survive in Mumbai. After passing from NSD, I came to Mumbai, tried to audition for as many roles.â
After coming to Mumbai, Mr. Kher did a few small roles in a couple of movies and TV shows, but nothing earned him the recognition he desired. He debuted as a writer in 2006 with the reality TV show âShabaash Indiaâ that aired on Zee TV.
In 2008, when he decided to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, he met with an accident that left him unfit for acting. It took him a lot of time to recover, and he went back to writing shows. He then worked as a writer on the shows âSa Re Ga Ma Pa Lâil Champsâ (2009), âJust Danceâ (2011-2012), âJhalak Dikhhla Jaaâ (2012), and âDil Deke Dekhoâ (2016). He has also worked as a senior creative director at the RedDot Productions.
Hemant has also worked as an acting coach for some popular Indian reality TV shows like âIndiaâs Best Cinestars Ki Khojâ and âIndiaâs Best Dramebaazâ in which he mentored the contestants for their respective performances.

He has also coached his Scam 1992 co-star Pratik Gandhi for his role of Harshad Mehta . In an interview, he said,
Hemant Kher with his co-star Pratik Gandhi
Ya! I have coached him, [but] not as an actor. But we have explored his character. Itâs not that I taught him the ABCâs of acting. He is a great actor. The thing is that acting coaching is not about teaching someone acting. It is about helping them explore their characters. It is about helping them understand that there could be many more layers [to their character]. They know how to act. Itâs just that a second perspective helps them understand if theyâve done it right.â
Reportedly, Hemant received an offer from a filmmaker from LA in 2020. While discussing this in a media interaction, he said,
Itâs a wonderful opportunity and I am still in talks with the producers. I have read the script. And itâs wonderful. I believe if converted into a cinematic experience it can create wonders. I can say that itâs an amazing opportunity and I would love to explore all facets of cinema be it in Bollywood or Hollywood.â
