Acting career
-:Debut and Initial success, 2000–2002:-
Ameesha Patel
Patel's first opportunity for acting came in the form of an offer from her father's schoolmate, Rakesh Roshan, to star opposite his son, Hrithik Roshan, in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai
(2000). The offer came immediately after she graduated from high school
but she refused the project because she wanted to continue her
education in USA Afterward, Kareena Kapoor
replaced her but luckily, Kapoor dropped out a few days into principal
photography and she was given the opportunity once again during a
family lunch. Patelreadily agreed to do the project this time. The role of an
exuberant college girl in love, undergoing a tortuous time at losing her
lover and rediscovering a more mature relationship gave Patel scope to
perform. The film was a smashing success and established Patel as a
rising star, earning her awards for Best Debut at a number of award ceremonies. In her second film, the Telugu language drama Badri, s starred opposite Pawan Kalyan. The film was a major success, grossing more than Rs 120 million in India.
2001 saw her appearing in Anil Sharma's cross-border romance, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, alongside Sunny Deol. she signed on much before Ameesha shot into the limelight with Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai
and was among 22 girls that were screen-tested from 500 girls who came
to audition for the film.she l had gone through a 12-hour audition
before she got the part.The film went on to become the top-grossing film of the year, as well
as the biggest hit of the 21st century, earning Rs 973 million in India. Ameesha Set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947,
it featured Patel as Sakeena, a Muslim girl who finds refuge in Deol's
house during the riots, and subsequently falls for him. Her performance
was praised, and won her the Filmfare Special Performance Award, as well as nominations for Best Actress at various award ceremonies. Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM
concluded, "Despite being one-film-old, Patel deserves full
marks for handling the complex role with elegance. Patellooks the
characterAmeesha is portraying and impresses with a natural performance."The film was perceived as being excessively anti-Pakistani.
These successes were followed by a series of films that flopped at the box-office. In Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar (2001), Ameesha played a successful singer who was abandoned by her mother at the time of her birth.
In 2002, she had three failures. In Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage, Ameesha played the role of Sapna who is caged in protective custody of her own father. She co-starred opposite Hrithik Roshan for the second time in this film. Unlike their successful pairing in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai,
the film proved to be a disappointment and resulted in a critical and
commercial failure. Patel's performance in the film was criticised by a
section of the media, but during an interview she clarified that there
was an "error" because the scene explaining that her character is
supposed to be asthmatic
in the film was edited out not knowing that one shot would make such a
difference, thus creating confusion to the viewer about her appearing
out of breath, as if Patel 's overacting or crying. Patel's unsuccessful follow-up continued with Kranti and David Dhawan's comedy Yeh Hai Jalwa in 2002. In the same year, she tasted minor box office success with Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, in which she played a career-oriented young woman who rejects the advances of Aftab Shivdasani's character. Then she found another major success when her last release of the year, Humraaz, became 5th highest grossing film of the year at the box office, and her performance earned her a nomination for Filmfare Best Actress Award. The Abbas-Mustan marital thriller saw her playing a character with negative shades for the first time. She played the girlfriend of Akshaye Khanna, who marries Bobby Deol
to grab his wealth – but, seeing Bobby's honesty, her character
surrenders to him. Taran Adarsh commented, "Amisha Patel is just about
okay as Akshaye's lover (first half), but splendid as Bobby's wife
(second half). This performance should silence her detractors for sure.
Also, 'Ameesha s looked her best with admirable outfits and perfect make-up."
-:Struggle phase, 2003–2006:-
Ameesha Patel
During 2003 to 2006, Patel's acting career entered a slump. After the relative success of Humraaz, she's string of unsuccessful films followed and would continue until 2006. In 2003, her only releases were Tamil language film Pudhiya Geethai and Hindi film Deepak Bahry's Parwana. Her releases in 2004, Vimal Kumar's comedy Suno Sasurjee, a delayed production since 2000, and her second Telugu language film Naani, followed. That year Patel also appeared in the music video for "Kasam" and "Kasam (Unplugged)" by Adnan Sami.
In 2005, Ameesha starred in Satish Kaushik's thriller Vaada, playing the role of Arjun Rampal's unfaithful wife who is followed by her obsessive ex-lover.

became the 3rd highest grosser of that year but due to high cost, it was
an average at box office. Her other releases that year include Zameer: The Fire Within, a delayed production since 2001, and the Telugu film Narasimhudu, both of which failed at the box office.

and flopped badly with some critics describing it as "outdated". In Teesri Aankh: The Hidden Camera, Ameesha played the role of a mute girl who witnesses a murder. Patel learned the sign language in order to fit the role. she was next cast in Tathastu, based on Denzel Washington's thriller John Q (2002).
Patel's fifth release in 2006, Ankahee, earned her critical praise despite its failure at the box office.
The film centred around an extramarital affair with Patel playing a
housewife whose husband cheats on her with a model. To understand the
mentality of a wronged wife, Patel spoke to her own grandmother who had
undergone a similar situation. Diganta Guha from Hindustan Times
noted "...it's Ameesha's performance that remains in your mind.Ameesha is
dignity personified in the film, playing a woman betrayed in marriage,
going all out to save it and in the end choosing her own path." Later that year, Ameesha appeared alongside Akshaye Khanna and Priyanka Chopra in Dharmesh Darshan's Aap Ki Khatir
