I'm British but not a brat I don't live in India and never learned hindi but I can easuly speak it with no english, I've been watching indian tv with no subtitles when I was born, no that hard to speak it, no idea why they have chosen him out of all the people from abroad they bought him and he is so meh.


He has been touchy feely for the longest time but its only Ali or Pritam who gets the bad wrap. He spared no one and he makes every effort to grab Karishma nowadays. He has displayed same behavior with his over the top PDA with Soni and sometimes with Diandra and Sonali. He didnt spare his best friend with the water task because he just wanted to see her get wet. He put a big ass stone in the pool without due thought or consideration. He didn't even care that she could have been sick or unwilling to get in the water. Above all he passed roadside comments like "kya baat hai" "oye hoye" "mast lag rahi hai"...

That my friend is Upen Patel.

Upen Patel is the epitome of the typical stereotype of persons of desi origin. He walks around like he is the only foreign born individual from subcontinent. Despite having lived a decade or more in India he is yet to properly speak the language of the land. His tardiness can also speak for itself as 90% times he is seen lying around like some welfare recipient.

Throughout the season he has progressed and only progressed on the backbone of other females, simply speaking he has leeched his way to the 14th week. He walks around with a superioty complex and looks down on others when he himself has done nothing in his uneventful life and accomplished nothing.

A man with no financial security or focus of any goals in his life. He simply takes joy in hiding under a veil of a nearby female and indulging in gossiping and backbiting and he continues to play with peoples emotions. He is a bad example and does not necessary represent the desi community abroad.

I thought I should spell it out there incase there is any confusion when individuals like him boost the stereotype from our bretheren back home.


Edit: Im only bring this "foreign" angle because he has himself broguht this to hide behind, or claim ignorance throughout his season. If he wants to bank and benefit from such strategy then I guess he also opens himself into accoutability and to questions.


Can't believe someone would take the time to write out this long post on a single contestant on a tv show. Such hatred for someone from another country! I guess xenophobia makes people so insecure that they have to hide behind a keyboard and bash someone. 😆

So we should play happy family and agree and give appreciation to every contestant, nope they are on the show and that means they have to be open to people giving an opinion them good or bad. Bar we are all on keyboards, unless you want to make a committee where we can all meet up and discuss the contestants whilst holding hands 😆

I thought to put some thought into my post without resorting to mindless gibberish or name calling so that I could back it up with a constructive criticism. Besides how can you accuse me of being xenophobic when I too could be a PIO (person of indian origin) and brown? And as far being insecure thats null and void because Im not the one putting myslef on TV, its him and people are bound to have their opinions.

That's too much generalization. He represents himself & not the Indians abroad. People don't form any opinion in general, watching only one or two. If there is a public opinion as such, they must be in much larger numbers, if not majority. Criticize him, but I don't think he should be blamed for a reputation on the Indian community abroad as a whole.

Poor guy, is here looking for a decent earning in show business & and I'm sure he knows, what kind of image he needs to create to sell himself... A good boy image might render him jobless in the industry...😆

My vehement opposition to Mr. Patel isn't an automatic indication of my support towards Gautam or infact any other character. These are simply my viewpoints as a viewer and shouldn't be taken against or for any other contestant. 👍🏼
