Mumbai, Sep 30: It’s no secret that veteran actor Anupam Kher is an invaluable asset to the Indian cinema. However, the counterfeiters in Gujarat cranked up his value when they decided to paste his picture on fake Rs 500 denomination notes worth Rs 1.6 crore.

The incident came to light when two unidentified men duped an Ahmedabad bullion trader using fake notes featuring Bollywood actor Anupam Kher instead of Mahatma Gandhi. Another interesting thing is that the notes have 'Resole Bank of India' printed on them, instead of 'Reserve Bank of India'. Images of the fake notes have gone viral on social media with many expressing shock at the incident, while others found it amusing.

Among them is Anupam himself, as he expressed his amusement at the incident. He took to his Instagram recently, and shared a newsclip of the fake currency bust. He wrote in the caption, “My photo instead of Gandhi's photo on the note of five hundred???? Anything can happen”.
