Anil Sharma recalls Ameesha Patel being uppity when he signed her for Gadar: Ek Prem Katha

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, filmmaker, Anil Sharma recollected various anecdotes from his blockbuster hit, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Speaking along the same lines, he vividly recalled a small misunderstanding that occurred between him and Ameesha Patel, when he signed the latter for the film. Anil mentioned that being a novice, merely a few films old actress, Ameesha appeared to be very uppity, especially since she came from a big family background. Nevertheless, he highlighted that Ameesha was a good-natured girl. In his words:

“Ameesha ji ka nature aise hi hai. Pichli Gadar ke dauraan unse meeting ke dauraan tu-tu-main-main ho gayi thi. Woh bade ghar ki bitiya hain, unke mizaaj thode bade hain, magar dil ki buri nahi hain, dil ki achi hain. Bade ghar ki beti jo hoti hai kabhi kabhi tunakmizaaji aa jaati hai. Hum log chote ghar ke log hain. Hum log pyaar mohabbat se rehte hain. Woh bhi rehti hain, but thoda sa attitude, ek adaa hai unme jo kabhi kabhi tedhi-medhi ho jaati hai, lekin insaan achi hain.”
