Upen Patel: The troublemakers will keep spreading nonsense about us

Upen Patel quashes rumours of trouble in his relationship with Karishma Tanna

Upen Patel, who fell in love with Karishma Tanna inside the 'Bigg Boss' house last season, is busy tackling rumours of trouble in his paradise. Stories doing the rounds hint the couple, who exchanged rings on a dance reality show this year, is on the verge of a split.

Dismissing the rumours, Upen shoots back, “Troublemakers will keep spreading nonsense. Karishma and I are in a great phase, both professionally and personally. We are very much together. I am doing films and she is also doing a hundred other things. Professional priorities need to be sorted before anything else. And when we have a confirmed date for marriage, we will share it with the world.”

Meanwhile, Upen who made his debut in the South with Vikram’s 'I', has now signed a Telugu film. “My mean act in Vikram’s movie was appreciated and it has opened up a whole new avenue for me. Negative characters, if written and portrayed well, can bring out a spectrum of human frailties. As they say, ‘Bad is the new good’,” he says.

From fighting with Andy who flashed Gauahar's lingerie on National TV to his love-hate relationship with Tanishaa, Kushal always gave a cold shoulder to everyone who dared to speak rudely to his lady love.
