There is nothing like a good comeback. It’s like rediscovering an old friend. It’s not always easy for a female actor to recover from career misfortune. Bollywood actor Ameesha Patel, who won a million hearts in Gadar, is gearing up for one such comeback. This time as a producer and businesswoman.
Films can be a self-regarding world, but Ameesha Patel’s vision roams far and wide. A Bollywood actor, Ameesha is equally at home facing the camera with her co-star Sunny Deol for her upcoming film Bhaiyyaji Super hit, helming her company engaged in a water softener and encouraging players of her team Royal Patialvi in Box Cricket League.
Ameesha Patel made a fantastic debut in the 2000 hit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai with Hrithik Roshan. After a massive hit at the box office, it would have been easy for her to cruise along on that fame with less challenging roles. She did the opposite when she jumped into the cauldron with Gadar: Ek Prem Katha with Sunny Deol. It was no easy role to pull off. Set in 1947, during the partition of India, the film narrated the story of a truck driver (Sunny Deol), a Jatt Sikh, who falls in love with a Muslim girl, Sakina (Ameesha Patel), belonging to an aristocratic family. This unglamorous role was not what was expected from the young and beautiful Ms. Patel, but it presented a challenge that she embraced with passion. The film was a hit, cementing her star status and turned out to be a great career decision because it established her as a serious talent in her second film, and not just another beautiful, south Bombay actor. It was also an indicator of the type of acting career she was seeking.
