"I had auditioned for the role of Trisha in 24!"

However, not many know that she had been part of the show Time Bomb 9 / 11 on Zee TV and the show was very similar to the currently popular show 24 on Colors. In Time Bomb, she had played the role of Roma Awasthi, wife to Varun Awasthi (played by Rajeev Khandelwal). Ask her about it and she says with a smile, "I am proud to be associated with a show like Time Bomb 9 /11 which was made way ahead of its time by Ketan Mehta who is a creative genius. Making such a classy, high budget show in those days means a lot." The show didn't do that well, "There were couple of glitches and also the weekly format was not as popular those days but whoever had watched it had loved it. I remember it was very popular in Delhi maybe because the story was based in Delhi."

After 24 has gone on-air, Amrita has been getting responses as to how much the show is similar to Time Bomb. Not only that she also auditioned for the show, "I was called to audition for the role of Anil Kapoor's wife Trisha, which is now being played by Tisca Chopra. They needed someone who would look like a mother to an 18 year old girl and maybe that is the reason I didn't fit the bill," says the svelte Amrita. 

It was something Amrita was eagerly waiting for she says, "Yes, I was dying to be a part of the show since I have watched the original 24 series and loved it."

So, has she seen the show now that it is on-air? "I have been busy travelling and working like a mad woman for my film ever since the show 24 was launched so unfortunately I have not watched it as yet. I have heard that it has been very well done and I believe that they will have many more seasons of it so I still hope that I get a chance to act in it!"

All the best, is all we can say Amrita!
