Ameesha Patel’s portrayal of ‘Sakina’ in the Gadar franchise holds a special place in the hearts of fans to this day. Her performance as a Muslim girl who falls hopelessly in love with a Sikh man during the partition, leading to the pair having to overcome several challenges to unite, continues to wow audiences to this day. However, Ameesha recently made headlines for being at odds with Gadar 2 director, Anil Sharma. The actress and director seemingly share vastly different opinions on the kind of roles the former should be doing.
Ameesha Patel lashes out at director, Anil Sharma, saying she won’t play a mother-in-law ‘even if paid 100 crores’
Actress, Ameesha Patel recently made headlines for taking a dig at Gadar 2 director, Anil Sharma’s remark about her being resistant to playing a mother-in-law on screen in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. The Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai star took to her X (formerly known as Twitter) handle to make it abundantly clear to the director that she had no intentions of playing such a role regardless of the paycheck offered. Firmly asserting that she had every right to choose the kind of roles she portrayed on screen, Ameesha penned:
“Dear @Anilsharma_dir dear Anilji. This is only a film and not a reality of some family, so on screen, I do have a say as to what I want to do and not do respect you loads, but I will never play a mother-in-law for Gadar or any film, even if paid 100 crores.”
