Ameesha Patel gave two massive blockbusters in a row with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. She’s now gearing up for Gadar 2 where she reunites with Sunny Deol and director Anil Sharma. And in an interview with Pinkvilla recently, she revealed how she was projected as arrogant by the media and also spoke about her alleged rivalry with Kareena Kapoor Khan.


She said, “I was portrayed as arrogant and snobbish and this typical south Bombay rich brat. Because on the sets, I would not indulge in idle gossip and bitching about people or talking them down. Someone else has a hit, I would always be happy that he or she has done a great job.”


Talking about how she was on sets, she stated, “ I used to read a book. I am a bookworm. I can read a book in three days. So I used to get told that Ameesha ji is very arrogant, pata nahi apne aap ko kya samajhti hai (Don’t know what she thinks of herself). Just because she is from a big khandaan, on the first day of shoot she came driving in a Mercedes. They used to make fun that Hrithik came in a Maruti, Ameesha came in a Mercedes. But there was nothing to show off.”


When asked about her alleged rivalry with Kareena, who was the first choice for Ameesha’s debut, the actress opened up and said, “I have no enemies. In fact when Kareena looks stunning in some song or some film and delivers a great performance, I actually tell my closest friends that ‘wow, she has done a brilliant job.’ I think she is a tremendously beautiful woman, amazing actress and I have nothing against her.”
