Poll campaign remark in focus as Samik Bhattacharya and Anupam Kher share a chuckle over actor’s baldness

Kolkata: An election-time comment on Anupam Kher’s baldness recaptured netizens’ attention on Sunday as a video of the actor’s conversation with state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya went viral.Present in Kolkata for the launch of his film, Kher met Bhattacharya at a hotel on Sunday morning and on a light note, asked the BJP neta why he had to refer to his baldness. “During the election campaign, you said that hair can re-grow on Anupam Kher’s head, but the Trinamool will not return to power. Why do you want hair on my head? Why was that analogy needed?”Breaking into laughter, Bhattacharya replied, “We need to bring in newer punchlines in our speeches to break the boredom among voters. Anupam Kher is famous across India. Even kids are your fans... I was trying to draw anomalies from impossible propositions to tell people that Trinamool’s return is not possible. What could be more popular than that analogy?”A smiling Kher asked Bhattacharya to pray for his baldness to be there, for ever.On Friday, Kher had met CM Suvendu Adhikari
