As Amar Upadhyay turned 50 on Saturday, his children penned heartfelt notes, showering love on the television actor and calling him a “mentor, friend, teacher, and world.”
Amar’s son Aryaman took to Instagram, where he shared a series of pictures with his father.
He wrote, “Happy Birthday, Dad. You are my mentor, my friend, my teacher, and my world. Everything that I am today, and anything that I will become tomorrow, is because of watching you and being guided by you.”
Aryaman further shared that he has learnt the “three greatest lessons” of life from his father.
“I’ve learnt three of the greatest lessons in life just by watching you, lessons people take years to learn: humility, hard work, and discipline (almost getting there). I’m just so grateful to be your son. I love you,” he wrote.
In February, Amar had heaped praise on Aryaman for his stage performance, urging him to stay focused, work hard, and never lose faith in himself. Reports suggest that Aryaman is currently preparing for his acting debut.
Amar’s daughter Chenab also shared a series of pictures from her toddler days with her father and wrote, “Happy birthday, Dad. I love you the most.”
The television actor replied, “Thank you @chenabupadhyay, my baccha.”
Amar is best known for his collaborations with Ekta Kapoor in television shows such as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kalash, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kkusum, and Molkki. He also participated in Bigg Boss and emerged as a finalist.
His other television credits include Dekh Bhai Dekh, Viraasat, Chand Ke Paar Chalo, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, Ek Deewaana Tha, Ishqbaaaz, Kyunkii Tum Hi Ho, and Doree. Apart from television, he has appeared in films like Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge!, Dhund: The Fog, LOC Kargil, 13B, It’s My Life, Kaagaz, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
It was in 1993 that Amar’s photographs appeared in a magazine, which led to Jaya Bachchan offering him a role in the TV series Dekh Bhai Dekh. This was followed by several shows including Arzoo, Suhana Safar, and Mehndi Tere Naam Ki.
He was recently seen in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, a sequel and reboot of the original show.
Smriti Irani and Amar reprised their roles as Tulsi and Mihir Virani, while Rohit Suchanti, Tanisha Mehta, Shagun Sharma, and Aman Gandhi played second-generation characters.
