I remember, every time I went through rough times, emotionally rough times, Anupam would always be there. In fact, Anupam had this strange quality of pulling me out of depression and making me feel much better... and that was not when we were in love, we were just friends."

The national award winning actress was feted for her performance in Rituparno Ghosh's "Bariwali" in 1999. Kirron's last Bollywood appearance was in "Action Replayy" and she also judged the reality show "India's Got Talent".
