Amar Upadhyay regrets getting desperate to do films after Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi: ‘Wish I could have waited more’

The handsome and versatile Amar Upadhyay began his career in the entertainment world with the television show Dekh Bhai Dekh. A few years later he rose to fame and became one of the most adored stars of TV thanks to his beloved character Mihir Virani in Ekta Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The iconic show is considered to be one of the most popular Indian daily soaps ever. Following his success on television, Amar decided to try his luck in films. Sadly things didn’t work out as well as he and his fans thought they would.

In a recent chat with ETimes, the actor shared that he did feel demotivated when his films didn’t do well at the Box Office. Amar was quoted saying, “I am not from an acting background. I made a few wrong decisions wherein I chose some projects which did not do well. The projects I would not say were wrong as they seemed right at that point in time, but now I feel I wish I could have waited more and been a bit more patient. Mihir as a character In Kyunki...was big. I feel I shouldn't have gotten desperate to do films after Kyunki. The cast and the banners which I was offered during Kyunki days were too big. I didn't have a father who would have financed a film for me.”

Amar shared that he was the lead of three daily soaps and had signed many films, but he couldn’t manage his dates and wishes there was someone to guide him on how to go about the industry. Well, much to the delight of fans, things did work in his favor in the end because now he is busy winning hearts as Virendra Pratap Singh in the show Molkki.
