Further, the Gadar 2 actress also said, “Chalte Chalte was one of my films, Munnabhai, Tere Naam…there were a lot of reasons I couldn’t do those films because I had already committed ‘to other films’ and there’s only one Ameesha. You can’t be everywhere.”

The actress returned to the big screen with her iconic character as Sakeena from the 2001 hit film Gadar – Ek Prem Katha. In the first part, the actress was seen alongside Sunny Deol, and with the sequel, the duo has created magic on-screen and the box office numbers are proof!
