Amar Upadhyay:Short Takes

My Birthday - 1 August

Acting is - survival, satisfaction, fame and money

Most embarrassing moment - when I walked on stage with my trousers tucked into my socks in the finals of the 1994 Gladrags Manhunt.

An honest confession - I want to be where I belong- Balaji Telefilms and I am still waiting for Ekta's call

What I never learnt - playing football

I would like to tell everyone - that Saathiya is not going off air

I recite - the Hanuman Chalisa once every day

My wallet always has - Mom's photo, yantra and a white handkerchief

I can cook - egg curry and rice

Most memorable moment - when my daughter Chenab was born

Favourite co-stars - Smriti Irani and Sangeeta Ghosh

First thing I do after getting up - drink one big bottle of water

The worst question I have faced - Why I left the role of "Mihir" in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu thi

What I want to change about myself - My short temper
