Ok, let’s start with the actual story. Upen Patel is feeling very insulted when he wasn’t acknowledged for his guest role in 123 at the movie’s music launch.

Apparently first-time director Ashwin Dheer was very commending of his actors at the music launch last week Wednesday, but failed to mention Upen Patel or his role in the movie. All other actors were called to the stage, but Upen was left fuming in the crowd

“What can I say? I was shell-shocked and humiliated. I don’t know why I should be treated this way.

Maybe because I’m an outsider in Bollywood. Would Ashwin dare to behave this way with Ranbir Kapoor or Neil Mathur? He shouldn’t forget he’s a first-timer too just like I was two years back.

I realize I’m a loner and therefore open to all kinds of attacks. I’m prepared for all kinds of ridicule. But not being acknowledged as part of a film that I’ve done, is a bit too much.”

And my explanation? Tanissha Mukherjee, better known as Kajol’s sister, was recently interviewed about her role in 123 and when asked if anything funny had happened on sets, she said,

Yeah, I can remember one. It was when I made Upen really upset.

Actually we had to cross a small river to reach the shooting spot in Pondicherry. I and Upen were in a boat and when we reached the spot, I got out of the boat and walked away.

But unfortunately Upen lost his balance while leaving the boat and he started calling me. But I couldn’t hear him yelling as because I have hearing problem.

Later on, I came to know that Upen abused me badly. But we made fun on that, too.

So, Upen sounds like a sweet guy…doesn’t he?
