Actor Amrita Rao, who rose to prominence with Vivah (2006), has opened up candidly about the emotional and professional challenges she faced in the years following the film’s success. In a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, she revealed how fame came with a strange mix of unsolicited attention, creative frustration, and, ultimately, loneliness.
Amrita Rao opens up on bizarre proposals after Vivah; reveals, “People standing next to their car and dog, saying ‘mujhse shaadi karlo’”
Amrita recalled, “After Vivah, I used to get NRI proposals with family photos, people standing next to their car and dog, saying ‘mujhse shaadi karlo’. And not just one or two… I got many! I used to laugh and wonder, ‘Kya log hain yeh!’. Some even wrote letters. Once, I received a letter written in blood, and that was very scary. There was this guy who would stand at the telephone booth outside my house, and my mom or dad would have to pick up the phone. It got a little much.”
Beyond the odd proposals, Amrita described an internal struggle in juggling public expectations with her artistic aspirations. She said, “I met my husband (RJ Anmol) when I was at a very critical point in my life. Even with all the superhit films and love from the audience, I felt stuck. The kind of films I wanted to do weren’t coming to me. The offers were big but came with conditions like, ‘There’s a kissing scene,’ and I would think, ‘Why do I only get offers with a glitch?’ People would say all kinds of things to demotivate me. I didn’t want to attend parties, award shows or be seen. I just wanted to do my work and come home. I was in a lonely space.”
It was during this low phase that Amrita met RJ Anmol, with whom she later tied the knot in 2016 after seven years of dating. The couple welcomed their son, Veer, in November 2020.
After stepping away from the spotlight for some years, Amrita is making a return with Jolly LLB 3, where she reprises her role as Sandhya, originally played in Jolly LLB (2013). This marks her re-entry into mainstream cinema following her appearance in Thackeray (2019).
