Veteran actor Anupam Kher’s appointment as Chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) has sparked murmurs about a ‘clash of interest’ that his new job poses with his own acting school. But he is unfazed and says naysayers have always been there whenever he has held a government position.

“They have always been around whenever I have been given a governmental position. When I was made the Chairperson of the CBFC, they said there would be a clash of interest with my relationship with producers and the film fraternity. When I took up stage acting very seriously, they said there would be a clash of interest with my film assignments.
“So if they had not come forward now, I’d have missed them. But no, I am not worried about any clash of interest. I prioritise my various commitments in a very systematic way,” Anupam added.
