Born Jun 09 , 1979
Amisha Patel was born in Mumbai, India. She went abroad to study economics. When returned she discovered that it was films where she wanted to be.
Determination has been one of her strengths. Even when she was in Standard IV, Amisha was sure that she wanted to be the head girl of the school. When she told her mother about it, she laughed it off. Amisha worked towards her goal by improving upon her academic record and by the time she reached Standard XII, she became one. While doing Economics in the United States, Amisha kept herself busy teaching classical dance in her free time.
She did join a financial company, but a regular nine to five job couldn't hold her for long. She joined Satyadev Dubey's theatre group and started doing plays after convincing her parents, a process that took a year.Armed with a foreign degree and an ultra respectable family background, Amisha Patel was to be the CEO of the family business. Fate certainly must have something to do with her business. Director Rakesh Roshan had already signed Kareena Kapoor opposite his son and had even started shooting with her. When that association did not work out, Roshan remembered his fascination with his school friend Amit Patel's limpid-eyed daughter at a sangeet celebration. Rakesh Roshan even remarked that if he ever made a film with his son, he would take her as a heroine.
