, who is known for her comic roles in both television and films, recently recalled a horrific incident from the past. The actress shared that once she signed a film after which the director (who was apparently from the South) called her to a hotel room for a ‘sitting’. The next day, she went to the office of the director and bashed him for his inappropriate approach. Upasana further recounted that she didn’t leave her room for seven days. She even gave a thought to leaving the industry. But destiny had some other plans and now Upasana Singh is a successful actress in the industry. 

In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Upasana said “A big South film director had signed me for a film opposite Anil Kapoor. I used to take my mother or sister whenever I visited the director’s office. One day, he asked me why I always bring them with me. He called me at 11:30 at night and asked me to come to a hotel for a ‘sitting’. I insisted that I will listen to the story the next day since I didn’t have a car to reach there. But then he asked, ‘Nahi, tum sitting ka matlab nahi samjhi?'” 

“Phir mera sardaarni vala dimaag satka. His office was in Bandra and the next morning, I went there. He was having a meeting with three to four people. His secretary asked me to wait outside but I didn’t. I barged in and abused him in front of those people in Punjabi for nearly five minutes continuously. But when I left his office, I remembered that I had informed a lot of people that I had signed the film with Anil. I couldn’t stop crying while walking on the footpath,” she added. 

The actress concluded by saying, “I didn’t leave my room for seven days. I would cry nonstop, wondering what I would tell people. But those seven days made me stronger. I was like ‘teri aisi ki taisi’. My mother worked hard to support me. I thought about her and decided I will not leave the film industry.”

Upasana Singh is known for working in Comedy Nights with Kapil, Carry On Jatta 2, Disco Singh, Nadaniyaan, Judwaa 2, 22g Tussi Ghaint Ho and Chalk n Duster to name a few.
