MUMBAI: Television industry's actor-model Amar Upadhyay is a renowned personality in the Hindi television industry.
He has been a part of both the television industry and Bollywood, but he's profusely known for his television roles.
With the television industry successfully running over 2-3 decades now as the most-popular medium of entertainment in India, we have lost track of so many impactful and popular shows that were aired on the various entertainment networks, owing to the on-airing and the sudden off-airing of innumerable shows which cannot be recalled so easily.
The same applies for the TV actors and actresses, who have actively taken part in this industry's long journey over such a long time-span. With so many new comers acing at showcasing their acting chops before the small-screen to many veteran stars retiring from the industry in short notice, so many well-known figures are now remembered as faint memories, until they make a sudden comeback in the industry.
However, there are still so many authentic TV actors who might have taken long breaks from the showbiz world after debuting on the small-screen at a stretch, but did not refrain themselves from making cameos or even taking up lead roles once again. Legendary TV actors like Ronit Roy, Shweta Tiwari, Sakshi Tanwar, Anita Hassanandini, Rupali Ganguly, Amar Upadhyay and many others have left behind a prominent trail of their stardom's journey.
