[edit] Biography

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. Her name is a blend of the first three letters of her father's name Amit and the last three letters of her mother's name Asha.

She graduated from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. She then worked for Morgan Stanley. After returning to India she joined Satyadev Dubey's theatre group and began acting in plays, but only after receiving permission from her conservative parents.[2]

Reportedly, she has broke-up with five year long time boyfriend, Vikram Bhatt.[3]

[edit] Career

Patel made her acting debut with Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. The film was the biggest hit of the year, and made her a star overnight, earning her awards for Best Debut at a number of award ceremonies.[4] She next appeared in the cross-border romance, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, alongside Sunny Deol. The film went on to become the top grossing film of the year, as well as the biggest hit of the 21st century, earning RS 973 million In India.[5] Set during the 1947 Indo-Pakistani conflicts, it featured Patel as Sakina, a Muslim girl who finds refuge in Deol's house during the riots, and subsequently falls for him. Her performance was praised, and won her the Filmfare Special Performance Award.

These successes were followed by a series of films that flopped at the box-office. In Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar, she played the role of a successful singer who was abandoned by her mother at the time of her birth. In Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, she plays a career-oriented girl who rejects the advances of the hero. In Humraaz she played the selfish girlfriend of Akshaye Khanna, who marries Bobby Deol to grab his wealth -- but, seeing Bobby's honesty, her character surrendered to him. In The Rising, she starred opposite Hollywood actor Tobey Stephens and played the role of a widow who gets rescued from committing Sati. She helped Karishma Kapoor's comeback in Mere Jeevan Saathi but Karisma's feud with her husband generated more publicity than the film itself. She played the role of a blind and a mute girl respectively in Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai & Teesri Aankh. Ankahee is the story of her ex-boyfriend Vikram Bhatt's earlier life. She played the role of his wife. In Aap Ki Khatir, she played the role of an innocent girl who is loved by her sister Priyanka Chopra's lover Dino Morea. In Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd, she played sweet wife of a bisexual man who helps him in his confusion.

Amisha returned in October 2007 with the hit movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa. She played the role of a rejected adopted girl.

Amisha is currently busy filming the new Kunal Kohli/Yash Raj project in which she's co-starring Rani Mukerji and Saif Ali Khan. Both Amisha and Rani are playing pivotal roles opposite Saif Ali Khan.

Amisha has also signed onto two big projects, one opposite Govinda titled Do Lucky, and another opposite Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt titled Chitur Singh Two Star. Both are comedies.
