Within minutes I was surrounded by police and 50-60 security personnel. Hundreds of people gathered at the spot, but the guards somehow managed to move me inside the Taj Mahal premises," he shared.Amar then revealed that the situation got even worse once he entered Taj Mahal. "There was a massive crowd and as soon as they saw me, they pushed all the cops and guards aside and I was brutally mobbed. People were pulling and pushing me, the photographers were clicking me, some asked for autographs, I couldn't understand what was happening. In the midst of it all, someone tore my t-shirt. I somehow managed to get out and saw that my clothes were torn and I was covered in nail marks, scratches and bruises," he recalled.The actor added that while the incident was definitely shocking for him, he also liked the effect he had on people, and it was then that he realised how big the show had become in the country.Amar Upadhyay played the role of Mihir Virani, the husband of the lead character Tulsi (played by Smriti Irani), in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. He quit the show after being a part of it for a year, however, he had to be brought back due to the massive public outcry.
