Kher, 63, an award-winning actor, is a vocal supporter of the Narendra Modi government. His wife and actor, Kirron Kher, is a BJP MP from Chandigarh.

He has previously served as chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification and was the director of the National School of Drama from 2001 to 2004.
