Upen Patel and Leah Weller in Coeur Campaign
MUMBAI: Actor Upen Patel has not only been voted as the sexiest man in Asian but also has modeled for well known brands like Versace, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Savile Row and Paul Smith. The actor has been seen in hit Bollywood films like 36 China Town, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, etc and is making his debut down south with Shankar’s megabudget film Ai with Shankar and Amy Jackson.
The good looking Patel boy recently shot for Coeur’s 2014 Spring/Summer campaign where the actor cum model can be seen alongside the stunning Leah Weller, daughter of rockstar Paul Weller. Patel and Weller look fabulous together and the campaign is already attracting attention given the appearance of Leah working the androgynous look to perfection.
Stripes and metallics dominate the range by international designer Peter Jeun Ho Tsang. He was inspired by British tailoring and Asian fabrics which together have produced this fusion line.
Looks like 2014 is off to a great start for Upen!

Cars24 co-founder Gajendra Jangid steps down amid leadership churn
Exits of CEO Himanshu Ratnoo and Ankit Bhalla add to top-level reshuffle
NEW DELHI: Cars24 has seen further top-level changes with co-founder Gajendra Jangid stepping down, adding to a series of senior exits at the company in recent months.
According to media reports, Jangid conveyed his decision in an internal communication to employees, stating that he had been considering the move for some time. He noted that there comes a stage when a company no longer relies on its founders to keep progressing, adding that it felt like the right moment to step back.
His exit follows a period of notable leadership churn at the Gurugram-based company. Recently, Himanshu Ratnoo stepped down as chief executive officer, while Ankit Bhalla also exited the organisation, signalling movement across key roles.
Responding to the development, Vikram Chopra acknowledged Jangid’s contribution, crediting him for shaping the brand, driving its marketing direction, and supporting the development of key teams and platforms within the ecosystem.
With multiple senior departures in quick succession, the company appears to be entering a phase of internal restructuring as it continues to scale its used car business in a competitive market.
