"Face the difficulties in life, then only we will learn the value," he said. Life is full of difficulties, face them, fight against the difficulties to achieve your goals in life. "I am not someone unique. I have learnt and grown with the rules that my elders have showed or thought me. Life is what we nurture. We reap what we sow. If we do not nurture our life properly we cannot expect fruits out of it. I have gone through a lot of difficulties and now my life has become smooth" Kailash Kher said.

His message to the youngsters is to become a good human being. "You may become a doctor or engineer and succeed in life, but you will always leave behind something. By the time you realize that, it will be too late", he said. Today people are so busy trying to achieve bigger heights in life.

It is the people who see me as celebrity. We are all mysterious people. I am doing edutainment. Singing is an entertainment, which also helps to relieve your tension and give you some relaxation, he said. "It is a medicine for many", he concluded.
