Ameesha Patel Turns 50: From Glamorous Star To Ageless Fitness Queen
Last Updated:
Ameesha Patel impressed audiences with her captivating performances in iconic blockbusters like Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.
Happy Birthday Ameesha Patel: Bollywood has seen its fair share of rising stars and fading lights, but some leave a lasting impact on the industry. Ameesha Patel, who marked her 50th birthday on June 9th, garnered immense praise with her debut film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Her stunning screen presence and promising performance earned her the tag of 'next big thing' in Bollywood. However, her career soon hit a rough patch, giving 20 flops in a row.
Ameesha's entry into Bollywood was nothing short of meteoric. The actress recently revealed that she turned down a lucrative job offer from Morgan Stanley to pursue her passion for acting.
However, her decision paid off when she made her debut with Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in 2000. The film became the highest-grossing film of the year, catapulting Ameesha and Hrithik Roshan to overnight stardom.
Her next film, Gadar Ek Prem Katha, opposite Sunny Deol, further solidified Ameesha's position in the industry. Following the overwhelming success, the actress received a spot among the A-list actresses.
However, her career trajectory took a hit with films like Humraaz and Kya Yehi Pyaar, which failed to perform well at the box office. Despite her initial success, Ameesha struggled to sustain her momentum and gave 20 flops in a row.
Ameesha Patel's career hit a rough patch by 2006, but she made a comeback with Priyadarshan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa, starring alongside Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. Although the horror-comedy was a huge commercial success, Ameesha's performance went largely unnoticed. After this, she took a break from the industry, staying away from the limelight for several years.
However, in 2023, Ameesha made a successful comeback with Gadar 2, the sequel to her earlier hit Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Although many expected her comeback to redefine her career, unfortunately, it didn't quite happen.
Her subsequent releases, Mystery of the Tattoo and Tauba Tera Jalwa, failed to match the success of Gadar 2.
Ameesha Patel's Inspiring Fitness Routine
Ameesha Patel is also a fitness enthusiast who has long been admired for her toned physique and radiant smile. Known for her stunning looks and vibrant energy, Ameesha's dedication to fitness is truly inspiring. She regularly shares glimpses of her workout routine with her fans on Instagram, giving them a peek into her fitness regimen.
The actress spends considerable time at the gym, where she focuses on exercises like deadlifts and kettlebell swings. Beyond physical workouts, she also regularly practices yoga and meditation to cultivate mental clarity and emotional well-being. Yoga enhances her flexibility, strength, and balance, while meditation helps her manage stress and stay centred amidst her busy schedule.

Aamir Khan was once slated to star in this Shah Rukh Khan blockbuster. 31 years later, actor says, ‘I didn't say no…'
The 1993 psychological thriller Darr, directed by the legendary Yash Chopra , was a landmark film that shaped the trajectory of Shah Rukh Khan 's stardom. In the film, Shah Rukh portrayed a deeply disturbed stalker fixated on a woman named Kiran, portrayed by Juhi Chawla. His character, Rahul, was dangerously obsessed, willing to harm anyone who stood between him and the woman he desired. Sunny Deol played the conventional protagonist—a protective fiancé fighting for his love. However, before Shah Rukh was cast as the obsessive antagonist, the role had initially been offered to Aamir Khan . During a recent conversation with Zoom, Aamir revealed that, contrary to popular belief, he hadn't rejected Darr. Instead, he was dismissed from the project. He explained that he had agreed to do the film, but his insistence on a joint script narration with both lead actors led to his removal. Aamir revealed he firmly believes that when a film features more than one central character, all key actors should be present for a collaborative narration. This approach, according to him, ensures mutual understanding and cohesive teamwork. However, Yash Chopra wasn't willing to accommodate that request, leading to Aamir being let go from the film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo Aamir further cited his experience with Andaz Apna Apna to support his stance. While working on that film alongside Salman Khan, Aamir insisted that both of them attend the story session together. Salman reportedly skipped the meeting multiple times, but Aamir stood his ground, refusing to proceed until both actors were present. Eventually, the narration took place jointly, adhering to Aamir's condition. After Darr was released, the film garnered significant success and became the third highest-grossing film of the year. Shah Rukh Khan's chilling portrayal of Rahul won critical acclaim and immense popularity, catapulting him into a league of unconventional anti-heroes. However, behind the film's commercial triumph, there was brewing tension on set. Sunny Deol was dissatisfied with how his character was portrayed, feeling that the narrative and screen space favored Shah Rukh's role over his own. This perceived imbalance led to long-standing friction between Sunny and Shah Rukh. Their rift lasted for years, marked by cold shoulders and avoidance in public appearances. However, the bitterness was finally put to rest in 2023 when Shah Rukh attended the success celebration of Gadar 2, a significant gesture that brought closure to their decades-old feud. Darr remains memorable not just for its gripping storyline and performances but also for the behind-the-scenes drama that shaped its casting and legacy.
