Remember Ameesha Patel? The Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai and Gadar star who invariably made headlines for her controversial private life over her movies? Yes, the same young lady who had a very public falling out with her parents when she moved in with then-boyfriend, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt? The same one who subsequently sued her parents for stealing' her earnings? Well, turns out that she wants to give acting another serious shot.
Despite having starred opposite major A-listers like Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, Ameesha's career didn't quite explode in the way that well- wishers had predicted. You could blame it on the fact that her stormy personal life and decisions always seemed to overshadow her work, but the point is she could never crack the top echelons of the star system in spite of some incredible opportunities. She turned producer some years ago, but that move didn't reap any substantial rewards either.
Lately, she's been sending word to top filmmakers that she's sorted out her mess and is raring to start afresh. According to the industry grapevine, Ameesha has put her manager on the job to reach out to every significant producer and director currently in the process of putting together a new project, and conveying that she's open to all kind of roles, "including the kind Aishwarya played in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. At least one director reportedly fell off his chair laughing at her pitch.
