She is a trained Bharatnatyam dancer ever since she was five years old. After studying Economics at Tufts University, Medford, USA, she worked as an economic analyst in a company. Ameeshas decision to return to India was a turning point in her life. Despite coming from a conservative family she plunged into theatre and modeling. She featured in ads of Fair & Lovely, Lux, Cadbury, Fem, and so on.
Her first break was when Rakesh Roshan offered her a film opposite his son, whom he was going to launch. After initially refusing it, she later decided to go ahead. The result is known to all- the box-office smasher hit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai! The film was a huge success and she became a star overnight. Her performance garnered her much appreciation and awards for Best Debut Female at important award functions. Her second film was a Telugu one named Badri, which grossed more than 120 million, making it a major success.
The actress witnessed another high of her career with her next Hindi film, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, in which she starred opposite Sunny Deol. The film was a cross- border love story and went on to become the highest grossing films of all times. It won seven awards at various functions, and was nominated for plenty of categories at the Filmfare, IIFA, Star Screen and Zee Cine Awards. Ameesha received the Filmfare Special Performance Award for her outstanding portrayal of the character.
After a few flops, Ameesha tasted success again with Abbas- Mustan directed Humraaz in which she was paired with Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol. The film did average business and Ameesha Patel was nominated for Best Actress awards at award functions.
Thereafter, her career slumped and her films failed to create any magic at the box office. A series of flops included Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage, Kranti, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Parwana, Suno Sasurjee, Vaada and Elan. Ameesha was also seen in Aamir Khan- starrer Mangal Pandey: The Rising where she played the role of a Bengali widow. Although the film did average earnings, it did nothing to salvage her failing career. Some of these films include Tathastu, Ankahee, and Aap Ki Khatir and so on.
The sexy stars career-graph took a positive turning with films like Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd., Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, in which she was noted for her role and her performance appreciated. She was last seen in Chatur Singh Two Star, which was a commercial failure. Besides these films, she has appeared in many Tamil and Telugu films. Her upcoming projects include Race 2, Shortcut Romeo and Bhaiyyaji Superhitt.
Ameesha has also been in news for reasons more than one. She had a legal battle with her parents, whom she accused of wasting all her money for their personal satisfaction. She had also patched up with her brother Ashmit Patel in August 2009 on the auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan. Her relationship with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and later with businessman Kanav Puri was the talk of the town. The actress has also appeared in a number of television shows like Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Indian Idol 2, etc.
