Amrita Rao (IPA: [əmrita raʊ]) is an Indian model and Bollywood actress.
Personal
Amrita was born to well-to-do Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family. She speaks English, Hindi, Marathi & Konkani.
Career
She entered the world of modeling quite by chance, when she auditioned for an advertising film for Fairever Face Cream. She was selected for the film, and since then appeared in a number of television spots for several products. Her performance in the music video Wo yaar mera, pyaar mera aaya hain milne ko established her as a model full of potential.
She made her cinematic debut in the 2002 film Ab Ke Baras, but gained recognition only after the success of her 2003 film, Ishq Vishk, in which her portrayal as Payal earned her the girl-next door image. Success followed for her in 2004 films like Masti and Main Hoon Na. However her following releases Deewaar (2004), Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi (2005), Shikhar (2005), and Pyare Mohan (2006) did poorly at the box office. Her most recent release, Vivah opposite Shahid Kapoor was a universal success despite its outdated theme. Her performance was well appreciated from critics. Next, she is doing Athidhi with Telugu movie star Mahesh Babu.
