Though
celebrated in the business, she takes nothing for granted. Ameesha Patel who can be seen on the cover of Man Magazine
February issue says 'Never write
anyone off. You never know which Friday can change anyone’s destiny'.
Even after 16
years in Bollywood industry she still finds it difficult as it was when
she first entered it. Ameesha Patel made a fantastic debut in 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. 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. Call it fate, or poor choices,
Ameesha didn’t quite hit gold with her subsequent films. The following
choice of films like Humraaz, Chatur Singh Two Star, Shortcut
Romeo didn’t help her much and instead, she earned abysmal reviews.
The self-made actress has earned her name through here strong and bold
nature, she has stood strong like a shield and fought every fight.
Disappointment at the failures must have been huge but she didn’t disown
any. The actor had an unexpected start in the world of cinema, has survived
fame, family betrayals, a broken heart and career setbacks, among other things.
If you ask how she has managed to emerge unscathed and curiously unspoiled, she
insists her positive nature and faith keep her going.
Currently, she
has poured her heart and soul into her home production Desi
Magic, which has been in the making for over two years. She had to
create her own space and by creating so she believes it gives a bigger sense of
achievement and pride to her.
