Upen Patel has been nursing high hopes of making it big in B-Town.

But his zero acting skills and not knowing how to speak proper Hindi came in the way. Now not everyone's as lucky as Katrina and Kangana!

Throwing attitude made things worse. People might tolerate Salman Khan's tantrums but definitely no one's going to do the same for a wannabe like Upen.

Supporting parts in big budget films and duds like 'Shakalaka Boom Boom', 'One Two Three' and 'Money Hai Toh Honey Hai' has naturally done nothing for him.

After all the thrashing, looks like the angry young man has learnt a few lessons.

The model- actor who's known for his wild partying and flashy night life has apparently now mellowed down.

While he was in Ooty shooting for Raj Kumar Santoshi 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' where he plays second fiddle to Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, his friends called and told him that they felt sorry for him as he was being forced to cope up in a hill station devoid of a nightlife.

But he surprised them all by saying that he wasn't missing his nightlife at all and was happy in the serene atmosphere of Ooty.

Upen went on to telll all and sundry that his daily routine had completely changed. He goes to sleep at 10′o clock and wakes up at 5 in the morning and is completely enjoying it. It could also be because it helped him to avoid Katrina and Ranbir who definitely easily overshadow him!

He promises to maintain the schedule even in Mumbai.

Difficult to believe, since "old habits die hard" as the old adage goes!
