Newcomer Kapil Sharma, who is working with Anupam kher in "An Actor Prepares", got the most important tip of his life from the veteran actor when he told him not to risk his life for a shot.

"It was my first shot and I had to jump from the second floor. There were safety harnesses, etc., but when I jumped, I fell and hurt my shoulder. There were also cuts and bruises."

"After the accident Anupam-ji told me, 'to be a hero, you don't need to do 'herogiri'. Be safe and that is what is of utmost importance'."

Since then Kapil, who plays his son in the film, has become a huge fan of Anupam and takes his advice in every thing.
