Ameesha Patel on being targeted after her films didn’t work: ‘If I had a godfather…’

When asked if she had ever sensed insecurity from other Bollywood actors, the Gadar 2 actor replied, “I don’t know, you will have to ask them. I used to hear stories about them but nobody is going to come to your face and tell you that. When you are working, it’s an environment where you give your best and even if I knew or sensed it, I wouldn’t have let it affect me and I would have just focused on giving my best.”

Ameesha Patel also disclosed her willingness to forgo her fees when producers faced financial losses due to a film’s underperformance, “Sometimes when the films didn’t work, the producers had sweetly come to me and asked me to waive my fee because their films didn’t work at the box office and they were at losses. I have let the fees go in such situations because I think it’s very important to understand another person’s position. So, no one forced me to give up my remuneration, I have done out of respect for my producers” she said.

In Gadar 2, Ameesha Patel reprised her role as Sakina. The film serves as a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and has been a tremendous success at the box office, likely to cross the Rs 500 crore mark on Sunday. Alongside Ameesha, the Anil Sharma directorial features Sunny Deol and Utkarsh Sharma in the lead roles.
