Upadhyaya appeared in “Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai” as Jasmine Mawani, the love interest of Rosesh, portrayed by Rajesh Kumar. Her feisty persona frequently made viewers laugh with her literal foot-in-mouth translations from Gujarati to English. The Gujarati slogan “Khot nat kehti” (I speak the truth) and Jasmine’s refusal to submit to the aristocratic Maya Sarabhai (Ratna Pathak Shah), the family matriarch, were further reasons for her popularity.
