Amrita Rao, known for her roles in films such as ‘Ishq-Vishk,’ ‘Main Hoon Na,’ ‘Vivah,’ and ‘Jolly LLB,’ celebrates her birthday today. Although Amrita’s Bollywood career has been unremarkable, even after appearing in a single film, she has established a solid reputation. She decided to move to Telugu cinema after leaving Hindi films.

Actress Amrita Rao once stated that ‘newcomers today’ do not actually accomplish the back-to-back success that she did from the start of her film career. Amrita previously stated in an interview that her ‘popularity and acceptance’ were not planned but were genuine. She added that, while she was always approached by the biggest studios, she had the option of declining the roles.

Amrita made her acting debut in Ab Ke Baras (2002), for which she received a Filmfare Award nomination in 2003 for Best Female Debut. She has also appeared in several films, including Ishq Vishk (2003), Main Hoon Na (2004), Vivah (2006), Masti (2004), and Athidhi (2004). (2007). Jolly LLB’s Welcome to Sajjanpur (2008) (2013). Satyagraha (2013), Singh Saab the Great (2013), and Thackeray (2013) (2019).

Amrita had previously stated in an interview with the Times of India, “I’ve made some unforgettable films that I believe will be remembered for a long time. Many newcomers today may not have witnessed the back-to-back success that I have experienced since the beginning of my career. My popularity and acceptance were genuine and not the result of PR and marketing strategies; however, many deserving opportunities were rejected that were beyond my regulation because I didn’t have a Godfather here.” “However, I can’t deny that I’ve never had to approach directors for work. I’ve always been approached by the biggest banners, and I’ve had the luxury of turning down offers because I wasn’t comfortable doing certain intimate scenes. My journey has been both simple and difficult because I had to forge my own path through trial and error. But the taste of self-sufficiency is the best,” she further stated.

In 2009, Amrita appeared on a jury on the reality show Perfect Bride. In 2016, she made her television debut with the show Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai. ‘Couple Of Things’ is a YouTube channel she runs with her husband, RJ Anmol. Cotline, a new series, premiered recently.
