Amisha Patel (born June 9, 1977, also known as Ameesha Patel) is a Bollywood actress and model from Maharashtra, India.

Biography

Early life

Amisha Patel is the daughter of Amit Patel and Asha Patel, sister of Ashmit Patel and the granddaughter of the famous Indian lawyer Rajni Patel.

After completing her schooling Amisha went to study to the US; she graduated from Tufts University, Boston U.S. Then she worked for a finance company and did occasional modeling.[1] She went back to India where she joined Satyadev Dubey's theatre group and began acting in plays; she did so only after getting permission from her conservative parents.[2]

Career

She entered films through family connections. Producer Rakesh Roshan was planning a film to introduce his son, Hrithik, to Bollywood; he was looking for another Bollywood newcomer to play the heroine. The Patel and Roshan families are friends, and Amisha won the heroine's role in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000) during a joint family dinner.[3]

This film made her a star overnight. She appeared next in the surprise success, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. These two successes were followed by a series of films that flopped at the box-office.

Amisha has signed several interesting projects that include Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiya & Kunal Kohli’s next project, which stars Saif Ali Khan & Rani Mukerji.
