Amrita Rao mobbed

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,November 30 2007]

It was during the shooting of her Telugu film Athidhi in Hyderabad that Amrita wanted to go to Char Minaar and also shop in the famous Choori Bazaar. Thinking that she will go unrecognized if she wore huge sun glasses and tied her hair back in pony, Amrita went to Char Minar with some friends.

As soon as she got off the car, people recognized her and started mobbing her. She had to return without getting the chance to buy anything. That is when somebody came with the idea of using a burkha and Amrita went out once again.

I had such a great time. I climbed up on Char Minar, rubbed shoulder with everybody in the crowd, went to the Choori Bazaar and really shopped for so many bangles. They have lovely bangles and they are so different. I even went to shop for stone studded jewellery. It was fun talking to people without getting recognised and being myself again, laughs Amrita.

Amrita Rao has done romantic role opposite Mahesh Babu in Telugu film Athidhi. This film has done terrific business in Andhra Pradesh and broken all previous records. This film has established her as the number one heroine in Telugu cinema. In Athidhi, Amrita Rao's look is very different and sensuous. It is unlike her regular roles that she has done in Hindis film till now.

Even in Bollywood she is rocking. Amrita has got plum projects and excellent films in hand. She has Shortkut, which is Anil Kapoor's home production with Akshay Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Chunkey Panday. She gets a very glamorous platform in the film. Another film is with Shyam Benegal which is one of the biggest opportunities for her this year. In January her E Niwas directed 'My name is Anthony Gonsalvis' is scheduled for release. She also has many other big offers.
