Ameesha Patel recently addressed fans’ curiosity about her potential marriage to Salman Khan.
When asked humorously about both being bachelors, Ameesha told Bollywood Bubble, “Fans actually have raised this question to me recently on Ask Amy Twitter chat. They’re like okay he is so eligible, you’re so eligible, you’re so good-looking, please get married to have good-looking babies.” The Race 2 actress giggled and continued, “And I was like wow, that’s a great reason. I think the world likes seeing beautiful people come together. They wanted to see me and Hrithik come together post Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. And when he announced his marriage, they were heartbroken. They were like, no this can’t happen.”
Last year in June, when a fan poked fun at both Ameesha and Salman Khan being unmarried and asked if there was a possibility of them tying the knot, the 49-year-old joked, “Salman is not married and nor am I? So you feel we should get married? What’s your key point for us to get married – shaadi or a film project?” The actor also revealed that she is willing to get married but is unable to find a groom. “Ladka nahin mil raha hai. I am ready since long,” she quipped.
Ameesha further stated, “The beauty is, when your characters on the screen mean so much to people off-screen that they want this to happen in reality, you’ve done a good job. It’s a testimony to your work that you could convincingly script through good performances, through great chemistry, that you know this couple belong to each other.”
Ameesha Patel and Salman Khan starred together in Yeh Hai Jalwa (2002). The film, directed by David Dhawan, was not a box office success, but audiences adored their pairing.
Recently, Ameesha, who was last seen in Gadar 2 alongside Sunny Deol, marked the 25th anniversary of her debut film Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai. Reflecting on its re-release, she credited the audience’s unwavering love for keeping the film relevant even after so many years. She acknowledged that fans continue to support iconic films, highlighting how Gadar 1 and Gadar 2 had similar nostalgic success at the box office. She also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to revisit the big screen alongside Hrithik Roshan through their debut film.
