According to a statement released by the publicist of TV actor Amar Upadhyay, his family is planning to sue co-actor Akashdeep Saigal for making unsavoury remarks on a national  reality show.
“Amar Upadhyay’s family is extremely hurt and furious by Bigg Boss contestant Akashdeep Saigal’s unsavory remarks and defamatory attacks on the personal life of the actor and plan to initiate legal action against Akashdeep,” said the statement.

The statement also states that Akashdeep had previously made scathing remarks about other actors as well. “In this week’s episode of Bigg Boss, Akashdeep (also known as Sky), intensified his scathing attacks on Amar, who has been a well-known television personality, famous for his character of Mihir Virani in Ekta Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Behind the actor’s back, Akash was seen badmouthing Amar to contestants Juhi Parmar and Shraddha Sharma, uttering spiteful and vicious things about him. Jo aadmi (Amar) apni biwi aur bachchon ka nahin ho sakta… yahan par woh Vida (Samadzai) ke saath apne gulchhare uda raha hai… woh aadmi kiska ho sakta hai?... Usse pata nahin ke kaise dikhega woh wahan pe,” Akashdeep has supposedly said on Bigg Boss. “Mereko toh pata bhi nahin tha ke iske do bachche hain… iski shaadi hui hai!” the statement quotes Akashdeep as saying.

“Amar is a very happy and a content family man, having abounding love for his wife Hetal and their children. He is participating in the reality show as a contestant and has not flirted with Vida Samadzai, as insinuated by Akashdeep. In fact, after being evicted from Bigg Boss, Vida has had a chat with Amar’s wife and they have had a hearty laugh, discussing the nitty-gritties of the show,” the statement further says.
