Upen Patel Alive in Gossip Columns
Upen Patel is one of my personal favorite Indian Bollywood hunks. But, unfortunately Upen is all muscles and no brains at all. Who cares if he can not act well? At least I don’t. As long as he is shirtless wearing swim trunks I am all OK to watch the entire movie). It seems that our sexy desi male model is having tough time getting new projects. He is capable of staying alive in the gossip columns but even then no major project or role for him. He recently had differences with the director of his upcoming movie One Two Three. It is rumored that the director Ashwin Dheer was so fed up of Upen that he completely edited out an entire item song of Upen from the movie. Now this is a really terrible news for all of us Upen Patel fans, we might have watched the movie in hope of seeing Upen Patel’s naked body. Ashwin wasn’t satisfied enough with this he took one more step and humiliated Upen publicly on the occasion of the music launch of the movie. Ashwin Dheer invited entire cast on the stage and completely ignored Upen who was standing among the crowd. Upen expressed his anger by telling that he was shell shocked and humiliated. Upen blames Ashwin’s attitude as the prejudice towards non-filmi self made new actors.
Upen also caused trouble on the sets of his another movie, Money Hai Tu Honey Hai. It is reported that Upen teared his shirt in frustration and anger over the designers assigned to dress him up for the movie. Upen said that the designer duo often picked up jeans and tshirts from cheap stalls for Upen to wear and most of the time they would simple suggest him to go shirtless (Upen baby you should have considered their advice there is not much you have to offer than your bare chest scenes). The producer then hired a new designer exclusively for Upen Patel.
It is also rumored that he has ditched girlfriend Shamita Singha and now seeing Gauhar Khan. (Who the hell is Gauhar Khan?) A simple Google search revealed that she is a famous model. Apparently Upen met her during a fashion show and then there were sparks of attraction on both ends. We wish Upen best of luck but we also think that he should concentrate more on his Hindi lessons and acting skills.

It is incredible that NRI actors are kept out of the Bollywood mainsteam. For example when in Mumbai you find scouts looking for non indians to act in film but if you are of indian descent you are shunned. This despite the fact that the people that are shunned are actually the ones that make up the bulk of Bollywood’s international audience.
Why this racism?
Personal experience has shown that bollywood is happy to take your money and have shows from London to Timbuktu but will not entertain these same people by offering roles to NRI actors.
Usual copouts are things like Hindi not good enough etc…
I reside in UK and whenever Bollywood comes to UK they bring their own main cast.
They certainly feel we are intelligent enough to understand the films but clearly not good enough to act in them. Although you may be lucky enough to become an extra!!!!
For example Mr Anupam Kher has recently opened an Acting School in UK charging some 2000 pounds a month to aspiring UK actors to break into Bollywood film industry.
I imagine there are plenty of incredible actors in UK who would give some Bollywood front runners a run for their money. But Alas, none of the current producers are offering us the break.
I do hope this changes soon. Particularly because there are some great tax breaks in UK for filmakers using local talent as Principal Cast. Come on Bollywood Rise to the Challenge does it really matter that much whether you are an Indian from Mumbai, Dehli, Lucknow, Jaipur, Culcatta, London, Paris, New York, Sydney….. Open up the playing field for the sake of the Audience.
