  "description": "Grand-daughter of Indian freedom fighter, lawyer, and former Justice  Rajni Patel, Amisha, a Gemini, was born in Bombay's Breach Candy  Hospital. She is nicknamed Angel and Princess. Her younger brother  Ashmit Patel is also a Bollywood film actor and her name is a blend of  the first three letters of her father's name Amit and the last three  letters of her mother's name Asha.\n\nShe studied at the Cathedral  and John Connon High School in Bombay, and went on to obtain a degree in  Economics from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, U.S.A. After  graduation she worked for a Finance company and also modeled on the  side.\n\nShe has studied Bharat Natyam dance form since the age of  five, and had acted in several plays in Satyadev Dubey's Theatre  including a play titled 'Neelam'.\n\nShe did not have any plans of  being an actress, but when Amit's friend, film-maker and actor, Rakesh  Roshan, met her during a family lunch, he offered her the lead role in  'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'. Amisha accepted the offer, the movie went on to  become a blockbuster, and made her a star overnight.\n\nShe went on  to star in movies like 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha', 'Kranti', 'Kya Yehi Pyar  Hai', 'Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar', 'Aap Mujhe Aache Lagne Lage', 'Yeh Hai  Jalwa', 'Humraaz', 'Parwana', 'Suno Sasurjee', 'Vaada', 'Elaan',  'Zameer', 'Mere Jeevan Saathi', 'Mangal Pandey', 'Humko Tumse Pyar Hai',  'Teesri Aankh', 'Tathastu', 'Ankahee', Aap Ki Khatir', 'Honeymoon  Travels Pvt Ltd', 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' & 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic'.\n\nShe has also acted in three Telugu films and a Tamil film.\n\nAmisha has been the recipient of four awards for her performances in 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai', and 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'.\n\nShe  has co-starred with Akshaye Khanna, Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar, Bobby  Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Aftab Shivdasani, Hrithik Roshan, Arjun Rampal  amongst others.\n\nHer personal life has been marred with  misunderstandings with her parents and brother, so much so that she has  sought the intervention of the courts. She dated Bollywood director,  Vikram Bhatt, for five years since the release of their first film  together, 'Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage', but they had broken-up in 2007.  Patel started dating London and Delhi-based businessman Kanav Puri  after her break-up, but they eventually broke up two years later in  2010.\n\nShe has many critics, who have described her as  inconsistent, but have since then bitten their lips when they were  proved wrong by this petite, and beautiful actress - who has, and  continues to enthrall her fans with a variety of performances on the  silver screen.",
