Television[edit]
Patel worked for the weekly cooking show Cook Na Kaho on Star One. The show started in November 2004, and the concept was inspired from Karen Anand’s popular bookSimple Cooking For Stupid Men. About the show, Patel said in an interview, "The show is aimed at bachelors who want to whip up something at home that takes very little time but doesn’t taste like what the cat dragged in."[1] In March 2005, he was replaced by Shayan Munshi.[2]
Patel is presently working with Endemol for their daily reality television show, Bigg Boss as a contestant. The show, currently in its 8th season, is based on Dutch-based TV series Big Brother, where a group of celebrities live together in a big house, completely isolated from the outside world and vie for cash prize in the end. One contestant is eliminated each week, based on public votes. The show went on air in September 2014 on Colors. Upen exited the Bigg Boss house on Day 102 but returned in the Bigg Boss Halla Bol episode as a wild card entrant where he became romantic & expressed his feelings towards Karishma Tanna. Patel said he travelled to India to participate in the show to "gain experience". The host of the show, Salman Khan, replied, "This place (Bigg Boss) gives an experience like no other."[3] NDTV commented that he participated in the show to give his career a boost, and that with this show he'd be "trailing a second innings".[3]Nowadays, he is participating in Nach baliye 7 along with Karishma tanna.
