What's got into Upen Patel? Since all his movies are flopping and he's getting overshadowed in every other film (from '36 China Town' to 'Shaka Laka Boom Boom' to 'Namaste London' to ' Money hai to Honey Hai'), he's busy doing other things in life.

The angry young man celebrated Diwali with his mum in South Africa recently. He was reportedly busy enjoying and dancing with the girls there.

And that's not all. The single guy is very much ready to mingle too. After Amrita Arora, Shamita Singha and the Brazilian supermodel, he's putting his flirty ways to good use by looking for a new girl.

The buzz is that he chose to omit his male friends from the dinner he hosted at his home over the weekend.

His female model pals like Pia Trivedi and Mughda Ghodse were there. After dinner, they headed to the launch of Jean Claude in Bandra.

When his male pals asked him why they were ignored, he simply told them that it hadn't been planned!

Well, the guy wanted to do his thing, that's why he lied. As simple as that!
