Anupam Kher recalls Kirron Kher's hilarious reaction when airport security thought he was carrying drugs: 'Charas lekar ghoom rahe ho?'
A dream holiday turned into a suspense thriller for Anupam Kher—and he didn't even need a film script. Recounting a nerve-wracking episode from years ago, the veteran actor shared how a seemingly harmless item in his luggage triggered chaos at the Los Angeles airport. He and his wife, Kirron Kher , were touring the U.S. with their play shortly after the 9/11 attacks, unaware that a minor oversight would invite major drama. Anupam had unknowingly packed incense sticks—what he fondly calls dhoop—in his shaving kit. 'Maine kisi din… dhoop hota hai na. Dhoop, agarbatti woh shaving ke samaan mein rakh diya hoga,' he recalled, explaining how the spiritual item found itself among his toiletries. As they were preparing to fly from LA to San Francisco, Kirron cleared the security check, but Anupam's bag caught attention. Officers pulled it aside and zeroed in on the mysterious item. 'So we were coming LA to San Francisco and Kiran had crossed the security check and she was waiting for me. And these security people opened my bag and they found something in my shaving kit. And I had completely forgotten what was there. So he took it out and started smelling it. Then he asked his colleague, 'Is this what I think it is?' So he also smelled and said yes.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo Things escalated fast. 'And then he suddenly said to me, 'Step aside, step aside and hands up please.' He asks me, 'What is this?' And I say, 'Don't know.' And suddenly wahan se awaaz aati hai 'Kya hai ye?'' he narrated. The language switch only heightened suspicion. Soon enough, security guards on bikes swooped in, guns drawn. Kirron, always one to react candidly, didn't hold back her shock. 'And she went, 'Charas lekar ghoom rahe ho?'' Anupam recalled her blunt reaction, laughing at her disbelief. '(You're roaming around with hashish?)' He joked, 'Agar main bach gaya inn logon se toh main bahar nikal ke divorce de dunga.' Fortunately, help came in the form of a Bangladeshi airport employee, who immediately recognised the fragrance. 'He explained that we use this in pooja and for god. Par meri toh zubaan hi chali gayi thi kyunki woh wahan se bole ja rahi thi 'Kya lekar ghoom rahe ho wahan par? Pagal ho gaye kya tum?'' Anupam remembered, still amused and slightly mortified. The couple, who've now been married for four decades, laugh about the moment—but at the time, it was anything but funny. All it took was a stick of incense to nearly spark an international incident—and Kirron's fiery wit only added fuel to the fire.

Anupam Kher Recalls Kirron Kher's Reaction To His Airport Drug Scare: 'Charas Lekar Ghoom Rahe?'
Last Updated: Anupam Kher recalls how an incense stick in his bag triggered a tense airport drama in the US. The perfect holiday can quickly turn into a thriller movie — just ask Anupam Kher. Years ago, touring the US with his wife Kirron Kher and their play just after 9/11, the veteran actor ended up in a heart-racing mix-up at Los Angeles airport. What looked like innocent incense sticks in his shaving kit had puzzled security officers into thinking it was something else. 'Maine kisi din… dhoop hota hai na. Dhoop, agarbatti woh shaving ke samaan mein rakh diya hoga," Anupam began, explaining how he had accidentally packed incense alongside his lotions and razors. He said security intercepted the bag when he was passing through. 'So we were coming LA to San Francisco and Kiran had crossed the security check and she was waiting for me. And these security people opened my bag and they found something in my shaving kit. And I had completely forgotten what was there. So he took it out and started smelling it. Then he asked his colleague, 'Is this what I think it is?' So he also smelled and said yes." The moment took a serious turn. 'And then he suddenly said to me, 'Step aside, step aside and hands up please.' He asks me, 'What is this?' And I say, 'Don't know.' And suddenly wahan se awaaz aati hai 'Kya hai ye?'" Those words stirred suspicion and before Anupam knew it, bike-security guards approached with guns levelled at him. It wasn't just Anupam who was taken by surprise —Kirron added her own humour. 'And she went, 'Charas lekar ghoom rahe ho?'" he said, recalling her blunt question, '(You're roaming around with hashish?)" Her shock made him joke, 'Agar main bach gaya inn logon se toh main bahar nikal ke divorce de dunga." The tension broke only when a Bangladeshi airport staffer recognised the aroma. 'He explained that we use this in pooja and for god. Par meri toh zubaan hi chali gayi thi kyunki woh wahan se bole ja rahi thi 'Kya lekar ghoom rahe ho wahan par? Pagal ho gaye kya tum?'" The embarrassment turned into laughter later, but back then it felt all too real. Anupam and Kirron, now married 40 years, still share a chuckle at how a simple incense stick almost derailed their travel—and how Kirron's fiery reaction added to the scene. First Published:
