Meet actress who had a superhit debut, later delivered 20 consecutive flops, then made a major comeback only to fail again, she is...
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, many actors come to Mumbai with a suitcase full of dreams and aspirations to make it big on the silver screen; however, there are only a few who get the much-desired stardom. For some actors, even after venturing successfully in the industry, fame and ongoing victory are not guaranteed.
One such story is of an actress who came into this industry with a blockbuster start; however, her accomplished career did not last long. But despite that, her fans haven't forgotten her, and she is still a very relevant name in the industry today.
The actress that we are talking about is none other than Ameesha Patel. She made her debut in this industry in the year 2000 with the film Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, where she starred opposite the Greek God of Bollywood, 'Hrithik Roshan'. Ameesha's innocence, radiating smile, and charm captivated the audience and won everyone's heart.
Soon after that, Ameesha started getting many offers, and in 2001, she delivered another blockbuster film called Gadar with Sunny Deol that not only hit gold at the box office but became a phenomenon. But her fleeting career did not last long.
If reports are to be believed, Ameesha's career saw a major decline after she got involved with Director Vikram Bhatt, who was already married. Ameesha was madly in love with him and had put everything at stake for him. After giving two blockbusters, Ameesha gave 20 consecutive flops, including Humraaz and Parwana.
Soon, Ameesha shifted from a lead role to a supporting role. In 2006, she appeared in the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa in a side role. Later in the year 2023, after being away from the limelight, Ameesha made a comeback with the film Gadar 2, which was the sequel to Gadar. This film turned out to be a major blockbuster hit and became her highest-grossing film. It collected Rs. 600 crores at the box office.
After her major comeback, Ameesha last appeared in the film Tauba Tera Pyar (2024), which also didn't meet the expectations and turned out to be a major flop.
Today, at the age of 50, Ameesha keeps inspiring her fans with her yoga and exercise on social media.

A pinch of strangeness at play
How many of you have played rock, paper, scissors? We played it all the time in school — sometimes just as a game, sometimes to decide who would play first in a game, and sometimes to break a tie. I remember, a few years ago, watching an episode of the popular TV show The Big Bang Theory, where Sheldon comes up with a new version of rock, paper, scissors called 'rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.' I was amused that someone could complicate such a simple game. However, this perspective changed when I attended a conference on traditional games in Spain. One of the delegates demonstrated on stage the game of Morra. It is a more sophisticated version of rock, paper, scissors, and is played in various versions across Europe. It is a hand game, that I understand, dates back thousands of years to ancient Roman and Greek times. While there are many variations of Morra, most forms can be played with a minimum of two players. In the most popular version, the players throw out a single hand, each showing zero to five fingers, and call out their guess as to the sum of all fingers.
