Anupam, who is currently in New York, celebrated his birthday with Robert De Niro. The two actors have shared the screen in ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ in 2012.

“Thank You it means a lot that you are in with me,” said Kher after the birthday song is over.

“Nothing can be more magical for an actor than to be able to spend quality time on your birthday with the #GodOfActing #RobertDeNiro third year in a row. I am humbled that Mr. De Niro accepted my lunch invitation. It was magnificent,” he tweeted along with the video.
