Actor Amar Upadhyay, best known as Mihir from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, has responded to Ram Kapoor's recent comments criticising his decision to leave television for films. Amar also clarified that he is not struggling for work, contrary to Ram’s claims.

When asked about Ram’s remarks on his career choices, Amar told Telly Talk, “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.”

Ram, during a recent interview with YouTuber Siddharth Kannan, called Amar’s decision to move to films a poor one. “I told Amar not to leave this (television), but he left it for a film. A lot of us, including me, told him, ‘What are you doing, brother?’ I told him that you are Mihir of the country. Why are you leaving for a film called Dhund: The Fog?”

Responding to this, Amar stated that he never truly left the television. “I don’t sit at home for more than two to four days; I go mad if I don’t work. I’m not going to leave TV, and I won’t leave it because television has given me constant work. I have a meeting tonight for another big TV show, and I’m thinking about how much to take on,” he said.

The actor pointed out that he has been actively working in the industry since 2003 and has appeared in numerous TV shows, films, and web series. He also mentioned the success of his last Gujarati film at the box office. “Many of my colleagues from back in the day are no longer working in TV. I have been in the industry for 32 years, and I am still going strong,” he said.

Concluding his remarks, Amar stated, “God is kind, and I have a lot of work to do. Woh kehte hain na, kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. People will talk, but I’ll just focus on my work and ignore the negativity.”

Amar Upadhyay was last seen in Abhishek Bachchan’s Bob Biswas (2021). He also appeared in Anees Bazmee’s horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, co-starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu.
