Upen
Patel
had
a
funny
experience
quite
recently
when
he
spent
a
few
days
in
Ooty
while
shooting
for
Rajkumar
Santoshi
directed
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani,
which
features
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Katrina
Kaif
as
the
main
leads.
He
got
quite
a
few
consolation
calls
from
his
friends
who
were
wondering
how
the
young
man
was
coping
in
the
serene
town
of
Ooty
which
was
devoid
of
any
night
life.
However,
Upen
was
hardly
amused.
Reason?
He
was
not
missing
the
nightlife
of
the
city
of
Mumbai
which
never
sleeps
and
was
instead
at
peace
with
himself
in
the
hills
of
Ooty.
On
queried
if
this
was
true,
Upen
was
initially
reluctant
to
talk
about
what
had
transpired
in
Ooty,
"I
don't
wish
to
make
a
lot
of
hullabaloo
about
where
I
spend
my
time
and
what
keeps
me
busy
on
an
average
day
or
night.
It
is
quite
personal
to
me
and
what
occupied
me
most
was
the
fact
that
I
was
shooting
with
Rajkumar
Santoshi."
But
he
is
considered
to
be
someone
who
has
been
known
for
his
flashy
night
life
ever
since
he
set
his
feet
in
Mumbai
to
become
an
actor?
Didn't
Ooty
turn
out
to
be
a
spanner
in
his
plans
since
there
wasn't
a
hangout
spot
to
visit
and
spend
late
nights?
Finally
opening
up,
Upen
went
on
to
comment,
"Now
that
you
are
cornering
me
to
such
an
extent,
let
me
inform
you
that
my
daily
routine
has
completely
changed
for
last
so
many
weeks.
I
used
to
be
a
night
bird
earlier
on
but
now
it's
a
different
thing
altogether.
I
go
to
sleep
at
10'o
clock
and
wake
up
at
5
in
the
morning."
Hard
to
believe
that,
considering
majority
of
Bollywood
goes
to
sleep
way
after
midnight.
Laughs
Upen,
"But
that's
not
the
case
with
me
anymore.
I
am
looking
at
maintaining
a
healthy
regime
and
hence
no
night
outs
for
me.
It
is
early
to
bed
and
early
to
rise
for
me.
This
is
the
reason
why
I
could
only
laugh
when
people
enquired
me
about
my
so
called
'lonely
nights'
in
Ooty.
The
fact
was
that
the
climate
out
there
was
just
conducive
for
me
to
get
my
body
some
much
desired
rest."
Though
he
is
back
in
Mumbai,
Upen
promises
that
he
would
be
maintaining
his
schedule.
"It
is
so
funny
that
now
I
am
hardly
managing
to
interact
with
my
friends.
The
time
that
I
am
awake
and
asleep
is
so
different
from
that
of
the
people
I
used
to
hang
out
with",
concludes
Upen.
