Anil Sharma On Ameesha Patel's Attitude: Actress Ameesha Patel is currently on cloud nine as her recently released movie Gadar 2 went on to become a 2023 blockbuster and has also been loved by audiences.

Anil Sharma, during a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, stated that Ameesha Patle wasn't a good actress, but he finalised her for the role of Shakeena because she had the 'built-in personality of someone from an important family'.

"Chaand jaisa chehra chahiye tha. Acting mein thodi weak thi. Maine Nitin Keni (producer) sahab se kaha, 'suit to mujhe ye kar rahi hai lekin ek dusri ladki hai wo better actor hai.' Magar yeh personality-wise, ameer ghar ki ladki hai to wo iske andar wo baat hai, wo attitude hai," he said.

He then added that he trained Ameesha for at least 6 months and helped her ingrain Sakeena's personality in her.

Taking a dig at the actress, Gadar 2 director in the same interview said that Ameesha comes from a wealthy background, so she puts on an attitude. However, he stated that she is a kind-hearted person.

He said, "Mera rishta kabhi kissi ke saath kharab nahi hota. Tu-tu-main-main bhi hui, theek bhi ho gayi. Ameesha ji ka nature aise hi hai. Pichli Gadar ke dauraan unse meeting ke dauraan tu-tu-main-main ho gayi thi."

He further added, "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," he said.

Gadar 2 marked Sunny Deol's return as Tara Singh. The film was released on August 11 and is close to crossing the 500 crore mark.
