Amar Upadhyay was quite excited about his show Kyunki…Tum Hi Ho (KTHH), which launched in December last year. The reason: He didn’t just act in it, but also produced it. However, he has now quit the show and is no longer associated with the production house either. He says, “Yes, I quit the company three weeks ago and exited the show around that time. My partner and I had creative differences even before the show went on air. However, I continued to be a part of the project hoping that issues would get resolved with time. Our vision for the company was different and it seemed best to part ways.”
Despite the differences, Amar wishes the best for the daily soap. He says, “The show has been close to my heart. I was involved in the casting and other production aspects, right from the beginning. In fact, I had met the channel officials who commissioned the show based on my narration. They were adamant that I should play the lead but I was sceptical initially because I was also producing it. But, eventually I agreed.”
Now that the partnership has ended, what if the channel asks Amar to return to the show? He replies, “I don’t want the show to suffer at any cost. As per the original storyline, my character is supposed to return from the dead. If my returning to the show can help, I will do it for the faith the channel showed in me as a producer.”
The experience hasn’t deterred Amar from going ahead with his production aspirations. “I have revived my wife’s production house and we are approaching every medium possible with interesting concepts,” he says.
