Upen Patel's shirtless selfies are a sexy reminder...

...that he's alive.

Upen Patel was - at one time - the hottest Gujju from UK who landed in Bollywood, hit the ramp with his sexy-ass abs and tried to transition his fashion fame to a career in the movies.

Epic fail followed. All the way to reality tv, the last resort of the fame-hungry.

Bad diction, risible acting, choice of films that went from ok to bad to worse. I mean think about it,  from a Subash Ghai produced film 36 China Town (2006) directed by the usually-successful Abbas-Mustan to a stellar appearance in the fab Namastay London (perfect casting of a London fkboi), and a well-tabloid-covered private life.... he was everywhere in the early days.  He should be on the top ten list but... but...

Then whoa the spiral out of control. We knew the end was near when in Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, there was a scene with him and gym-fail Govinda and both guys were at the beach in all their bloated glory.

like whatdafaqqq doood. the hottest thing about him was his abs and its not like he was doing any movies - so how he got that pudgy is beyond us. he should have hit the gym hard before the beach scene...

Its like he heard us 'cause guess what, last we saw him, he was looking damn fine in a sexy spread in Stardust. see below. he's looking hotter than ever.

however, clearly he's aging cause the filters he's using on social media are a tad too obvious. dude. just be the hot older guy. own your grey hair and fine lines. be the hottest 40+ model (um we just checked. he's 37. ok a little Olay will go a long way!).

Just be super hot. learn Hindi diction - it always cracks us up when Indian actors don't speak the language their career depends on. Even Katrina Kaif learned Hindi (somewhat). Hit Netflix or any outlet. Be an instagram star - it easy to get followers when you're not shy of stripping off a shirt!
