Interesting! This is why Rakesh Roshan did not want Ameesha Patel to play Sakeena In Gadar

MUMBAI: Ameesha Patel made her acting debut in the romantic thriller blockbuster Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. She rose to prominence by featuring in top grossing productions- Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001), which became one of the biggest hits in the history of Hindi cinema, earning her a Filmfare Special Performance Award, Humraaz (2002), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007).

For Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Ameesha portrayed the role of a young college girl who falls in love with Hrithik Roshan. However, in her very next film, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Ameesha played the role of a mother.

But her debut film director Rakesh Roshan was completely against Ameesha playing Sakeena’s role in the Sunny Deol starrer?

Ameesha recently opened up about being discouraged for taking up Sakeena’s character in Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. She revealed that as she was shooting for Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Gadar simultaneously, Rakesh Roshan asked her to not take up the role as she was launched as a glamorous role, but Sakeena was an un-glam character.

However, she believed in Sakeena and believed in Gadar. She just wanted to do it and didn’t even know that it would become such a cult film.

She added, “It was a challenge. I came out of Sakeena and then I was playing this grey character in Humraaz. You know I have loved shocking my audience. And then Adi (Aditya) Chopra offered me a guest appearance in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic with a dance number called Lazy Lamhe. I am so happy in my repertoire of films I have films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Honey Moon Travels Pvt. Ltd., Race 2 to my credit.”

She is set to reprise her role as Sakeena in Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, 20 years since its predecessor released.
