What Amar Upadhyay said about Ram Kapoor's comment on him

Responding to Ram Kapoor's comments, Upadhyay told Telly TV that he has not watched the interview but was informed about his comment during a media interaction.

"I thought they were just spreading rumors. My philosophy in life is that I don't care what people say or think about me. I don't pay attention to negative comments or podcasts that mention me in a negative light. I have a very positive mindset, and I know that I am an extremely hardworking person." Amar said adding that he does not stay home or more that two-four days and keeps working to keep his anxiety at bay.

The actor added, "I'm not going to leave TV, and I won't leave it because television has given me constant work."

Amar also stressed that most of his former colleagues are no longer working in television and he is still going string after three decades in the business. He is working on an online series, regional films, and is considering what to opt for next. He said, "God is kind, and I have a lot of work to do. Woh kehte hain nah, Kuch Toh Log Kahenge… Logon Ka Kaam Hai Kehna. People will talk, but I'll just focus on my work and ignore the negativity."
