In a recent interview, it was revealed that the Gadar Actress Rejected Highest-Paying Job To Work With Hrithik Roshan. Ameesha Patel shared how she turned down a high-paying job offer from Morgan Stanley to pursue her breakthrough role in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai immediately became a huge hit following its release, and it marked Ameesha Patel’s debut, as she was cast only three days before production began. The actress, who believed that her character in the Hrithik Roshan picture was predetermined, revealed that she had previously turned down offers for films such as Prem Aggan and Himalaya Putra. In a recent interview, Patel revealed that she turned down a high-paying job offer from Morgan Stanley to pursue acting. In a recent interview, the actress discussed how she met Rakesh Roshan and was offered her first film. She described how she had grudgingly attended a wedding with her family when she ran into the director.
When they passed each other, he stared at her, blinked, and asked her father whether she was his girlfriend. Her father explained that she had recently graduated and returned from Boston. The day after their brief encounter, Rakesh offered her lunch at his home, which she originally declined due to the long travel. Ameesha later discovered that he wanted to invite her to talk about her role in the film Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai.
Patel described how she went to lunch in normal clothes, without makeup, and was dissatisfied with the excursion. When she arrived, she ran into her childhood friend, Hrithik Roshan. The Gadar actress complimented him on his appearance but then inquired where the restroom was, which made him believe she was peculiar. While Ameesha was in the restroom, Rakesh and Hrithik talked about her, with Rakesh expressing his delight at having found the actress for their project. When the actress emerged from the restroom, she assumed the meal was a social event and was ready to go.
After they had eaten, the director inquired about her future intentions. She informed him she wasn’t sure if she should return to Boston for more studies or accept a job offer from Morgan Stanley, which was an excellent opportunity. Rakesh then startled her by stating “Acting”. Ameesha acknowledged her previous involvement in school plays and dancing but expressed little interest in Bollywood. The Krrish director then handed her a contract, offering her a role in a film that he planned to make with his son. Although she was unsure, she eventually consented after a few minutes of deliberation. She said that if the film did not work out, she could return to her education and profession, as she had other offers.
