Being the only daughter, Amisha Patel was brought up with great care in a traditional but modern way. As the head girl of her school she took part in most extra curricular activities and went on to win several awards in her school and college.

After her return to India, Amisha joined a financial company but was soon bored by the nine to five schedule. Her creative instinct which was so far latent, finally came to the fore and she joined a theatre group. But destiny had something else in store for her.

Director Rakesh Roshan, who had spotted the talent in her offered her the role of Soniya in Kaho Na Pyar Hai opposite his son Hritik Roshan. After overcoming stiff resistance from her family, Amisha's career as a film star finally got flagged off with this film. Thereafter she never looked back.
