Upen Patel Does An Item Number

Upen Patel will soon be seen in a dance number in a television serial. The 33-year-old Bollywood actor, who has already finished shooting for the item song, enjoyed the experience.

He says, “This was my first item number for TV, and it was great fun; I did those typical Bollywood dance steps. I play myself on the show. Dance numbers add drama to a story, and they’re great entertainment.”

Does he plan to act on the small screen as well? “No. I have just finished shooting for a Telugu film, and I have two other movies on the floors. Film actors are very lucky, as performing for TV is tough. Television actors shoot for 17 hours a day, seven days a week. I am very busy with my films. It’s impossible to give time to TV, except for reality TV shows, which don’t demand long hours,” he says.
