In an interview with Hindustan Times, Anupam had said, "I was quite mediocre at sports; the only field in which I shone was dramatics. I was studying in Government College, Shimla when I was declared the best actor of Himachal Pradesh University."
He added, "I had taken admission in the Department of Economics at Himachal Pradesh University when I saw an ad by the Department of Indian Theatre, Punjab University, Chandigarh, inviting students for a walk-in audition, and promising a scholarship of Rs 200 to the selected students. I didn't have the guts to approach my parents for the fare, so I stole a sum of Rs 118 my mother had kept in her temple and landed at PU."

"I remember they had two pieces - one for girls and the other for boys. Instinctively, I enacted the piece meant for girls. Balwant Gargi, who was in the interview panel, noticed it, and remarked, 'Very bad but very daring'. I returned home in the evening to find that my parents had called the police. My mother asked me whether I had taken the money but I flatly denied it. A week later, my father called me and asked, 'Where had you gone that day?' I told him the entire truth after which my mother gave me a tight slap. My father told her, 'Don't worry he is getting a scholarship of Rs 200, he will return your 100. That's how I learned about my admission."
