Meet actress who quit high-paying job at Morgan Stanley for acting, debut film was blockbuster, set Guinness record, then gave multiple flops, quit acting and then returned…
Meet diva who never dreamt of becoming an actor, but fate decided to make her an over-night sensation. However, luck didn't favour her and she vanished from Bollywood.
Did that before making a debut in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, this famous person actress turned down roles alongside two-famous person teenagers: Fardeen Khan in Prem Aggan and Akshaye Khanna in Himalaya Putra. So, what led her to make your mind up the 2000 romantic drama with Hrithik Roshan? In a most modern interview, Ameesha revealed she was once offered Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai just three days before filming started, showing how quickly her career took off! Can you guess who's she?
This actress gave a hit film after 22 years…
Right through a candid conversation with BeautybyBiE YouTube channel Ameesha revealed, “I attended a filmy wedding with my family reluctantly. Back then I was once working as a head economic analyst. Mr Rakesh Roshan was once entering the venue, after I was once exiting it. He checked out me, blinked for your time, checked out my father, and asked him, ‘Girlfriend?’ My father said, ‘No, Rakesh. That's Ameesha. She just graduated and returned from Boston.’ And that was once the whole conversation they had. If only I left a little later, or he came a little earlier, I don’t think the meeting would have took place in any respect.”
Ameesha shared that the very next day, she received an invitation to lunch at Rakesh Roshan’s home, but she felt a chunk hesitant about attending. The actress expressed, “‘Oh my god, now not gonna go the whole manner from Marine Drive to Juhu.’ I didn’t desire to head. I was once also now not aware that he was once indubitably inviting me for lunch to give me my first movie Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Like any teenager, I went with a white t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, no makeup, hair in a ponytail and sulking that I needed to make this complete journey. I reached his home and entered the bar room. Hrithik was once sitting there. We had been friends after we were teenagers. We had close to similar social circle. I checked out him and I thought to myself, ‘Wow, you could have got become a hell of a handsome guy’. And then I said, ‘Put out of your mind all that, where is the washroom?’ That was once my first sentence to him. And he just checked out me and said, ‘This girl is cracked.’ I went to make use of the washroom.”
The diva in an analogous way added, “In my absence, while I was once contained within the washroom, I don’t know what took place. But, Hrithik and Rakesh uncle told me later that after Rakesh uncle returned from the wedding, he didn’t sleep all night. He said, ‘I found our Soniya for the film.’ And Hrithik was once waiting to look me. And that they exchanged a thumbs up, after I was once contained within the washroom. They still hadn’t told me at that point what I was once there for. I thought it was once only a social lunch. We had our lunch. There was once Rakesh uncle, his wife, Pinky aunty, and Hrithik. After lunch, I said, ‘I better head back, I had a prolonged shuttle. And Rakesh uncle told me, ‘No Ameesha, wait, can you tell me one thing? What is your plan for future?’ I said, honestly, I am at the crossroads, I don’t know whether I desire to head back to Boston and study in an analogous way or take up the job offer I had received from Morgan Stanley, who were quite impressed with my CV. They needed someone well-exposed and educated to represent them. It was once a fabulous position. I was once quite at a loss for words at that point in my life, which I expressed to Rakesh uncle. But, none matched what he had in store for me.”
Ameesha Patel in an analogous way added, “He said, ‘But, what about films? And I am like, ‘What about it?’ He said, ‘Have you considered acting?’ I said, ‘I do a skit or two at school and university. I've won awards in dramatics for Best Director, and Best Actor. I am a Bharatnatyam trained dancer. But, while you may perhaps be asking me about Bollywood, I normally have not got any such intentions. He then took out a contract. He said, ‘I am offering you a movie, would you prefer to do it?’ I was once like, ‘What film?’ He said, ‘I desire to launch you with my son.’ And I said, ‘Really? But, I don’t know anything about acting.’ He was once like, ‘Really?’ And I considered it for like five minutes and said, ‘Okay, let me just do it’.”
She concluded by saying, “I was once like, ‘What worse can happen? The film will fail, and I may go back to doing what I was once doing–my education, and job. Before this, I had other offers too. Vinod Khanna uncle had offered me Himalaya Putra with Akshaye. Feroz Khan uncle had offered me Prem Aggan with Fardeen. But, all these films were being filmed after I was once contained within the university. So, I kept declining these offers. Films wasn’t on my radar. But, Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was once maybe meant to be.”
