Ameesha Patel: The forgotten face of Bollywood

Ameesha Patel was quite a known figure in the Bollywood until mid 2000s when she disappeared from the screen for undisclosed reasons. The actress has then reemerged but on rare occasions.

Way back in 2000, Ameesha Patel acted in her first Bollywood film, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (KNPH; 2000), along with Hrithik Roshan. The film proved to be a surprise hit, given that it had two unknown actors in the lead.

Naturally, it proved to be a tremendous platform for its actors, and they were both offered a bunch of films. But while Hrithik went from strength to strength, Ameesha has since almost become a forgotten name. She surfaces only now and then with bit roles in multi-starrers.

The actor, however, is known to seize every chance to be in the news. Recently she went ahead and said she does not consider KNPH

(her only real claim to fame) her Bollywood debut. Instead, she claims that she debuted with another nearly forgotten actor, Zayed Khan. “Zayed has been family to me. I must tell you that I actually debuted in a way with him and not with Hrithik.

It is reported that when KNPH released, Ameesha was reportedly miffed that Hrithik got more limelight than her.
