'Gadar' director Anil Sharma takes an indirect dig at Ameesha Patel, says ‘she was weak at acting’

‘Gadar 2’ has shattered many box-office records and become this year’s second biggest hit film after ‘Pathaan’. Amid the film’s phenomenal success, director Anil Sharma recently got candid about Ameesha Patel and her ‘attitude’ during an interview with Bollywood Hungama. He reportedly said, ‘Mera rishta kabhi kissi ke saath kharab nahi hota. Tu-tu-main-main bhi hui, theek bhi ho gayi. Ameesha ji ka nature aise hi hai. Pichli Gadar ke dauraan unse meeting ke dauraan tu-tu-main-main ho gayi thi. Woh bade ghar ki bitiya hain, unke mizaaj thode bade hain, magar dil ki buri nahi hain, dil ki achi hain. Bade ghar ki beti jo hoti hai kabhi kabhi tunakmizaaji aa jaati hai. Hum log chote ghar ke log hain. Hum log pyaar mohabbat se rehte hain. Woh bhi rehti hain, but thoda sa attitude, ek adaa hai unme jo kabhi kabhi tedhi-medhi ho jaati hai, lekin insaan achi hain.’ Further, Anil also said that he finalised Ameesha for the role of Sakeena despite her being ‘weak’ in acting. ‘For Sakeena, I wanted an actor with a face like the moon. But she was weak at acting. Another girl we’d shortlisted was a better actor, but Ameesha had the built-in personality of someone from an important family. I knew we would have to train her, and she agreed to undergo training for six months. She’d come to me for four or five hours, and somehow, I ingrained Sakeena’s personality in her, to the point that she is still inseparable from that character.’ Meanwhile, Ameesha in a recent interview had said that if she could, she would have ‘re-edited’ few things in ‘Gadar 2’ and would’ve made the film ‘crisper’.
