"I have done over 25 ramp shows for some of the biggest fashion houses which have included Hugo Boss, Paul Smith, Zenga etc and have appeared in publications such as Vogue, Men's Health and GQ and have also featured in many advertising campaigns one of the biggest being the KENZO jungle which ran for six months around Europe. But, there I was just another model doing Vogue and London Fashion Week. I always wanted to try Bollywood and that's why I decided to come to Mumbai", he said. Last year Upen was attracted towards Indian projects when he was awarded the title of the 'UKs No1 indian male model' by Zee TV(UK) which introduced him to the Indian fashion world. After receiving this award he modeled for every Indian designer and publication such as Selfridges(Bollywood Season), Asian Women & Bride Magazine, Snoop Magazine etc. "Since coming to India, everything has happen so fast for me, I got here and they asked me to do the Lakme Fashion week which was a great success for me," says Upen who was called 'next big thing' live on national TV. Upen who has appeared in 14 music videos one of them being the Punjabi MC video which made it to the mainstream international charts and became a huge club track in India, will now do one international music video to be shot in Paris featuring him along with another leading French model. "The video is for a very big singer called Jean' Michael from France. I got this offer from a director from London who I had worked earlier and this also happens to be his first major international video," avers Upen. Patel is also the hottest contender at the upcoming F Awards organized by Wizcraft which will take place in September.
