Indian Bollywood Actress - Amisha Patel

Amisha Patel one of the finest bollywood actresses today. Born on 9 june 1975 Amisha's first opportunity for acting came in the form of an offer from Rakesh Roshan, to star opposite his son, Hrithik Roshan, in the blockbuster movie Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). The offer came immediately after she graduated from high school. The role of an exuberant college girl in love, undergoing a tortuous time at losing her lover and rediscovering a more mature relationship gave Amisha scope to perform. The film was a smashing success and established Amisha as a rising star, earning her awards for Best Debut at a number of award ceremonies. Her second bollywood film "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" (2001) starring Sunny Deol also became the biggest blockbuster hit. Amisha gave a stunning performance as a Muslim girl falling for a Hindu boy against the backdrop of Indo-Pak riots in 1947. Her performance in Gadar have won her accolades, honors and awards including Filmfare Special Performance Award. Then after there was no turning back for her action career.

Amisha Patel has also acted in Tollywood, her sizzling performances in Telugu films such as "Badri" starring Pavan Kalyan, "Naani" (2004) starring Mahesh Babu and "Narasimhudu" (2005) starring Jr NTR, "Enna Vilai Azhagae" (2000) and "Pudhiya Geethai" (2003).

During 2003 to 2006, Amisha’s acting career slumped despite the relative success of Humraaz, Amisha's list of unsuccessful films followed and would continue until 2006, although she did find minor box office success with Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, in which she played a career-oriented young woman who rejects the advances of the film's hero. In Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage, she played the role of Sapna who is caged in protective custody of her own father. She co-starred opposite Hrithik Roshan for the second time in this film. Unlike their successful pairing in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, the film proved to be a disappointment and resulted in a critical and commercial failure. Amisha 's performance in the film was criticized by a section of the media, but during an interview she clarified that there was an "error" because the scene explaining that her character is supposed to be asthmatic in the film was edited out not knowing that one shot would make such a difference, thus creating confusion to the viewer about her appearing out of breath, as if she's overacting or crying.

Her career prospects began to improve in the year 2007 when she saw some success with Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd., playing the role of Karan Khanna's talkative wife who tries to overcome her husband's gay leanings. Her comic timing in the film was well-received.
