Amrita Rao
Actress Amrita Rao has been keeping a low profile for a long time. After a long time, her next film Love U…Mr Kalakaar! releases on May 13. The girl with an infectious smile, Amrita Rao who played a role of a girl next door in a series of films like Vivah, Ishq Vishk and Shikhar confesses that she has transformed into a glam diva. Excerpts:
Why have you been keeping a low profile all this while?
(Laughs) It was never a conscious effort. I did not have a single release in 2010 as I was filming for Love U…Mr. Kalakaar!. I was affected by the recession in 2009 and two of my big projects did not take off. One was AB Corp Ltd’s film directed by Chandra Prakash Dwivedi (of Pinjar fame) The Legend Of Kunal and the other was Ken Ghosh’s romantic film with Neil Nitin Mukesh. I am in the news only due to my movies; I don’t make news of my personal life.
Tell us something about your character in Love U…Mr. Kalakaar! I am excited about doing a role that is completely different from what I’d done in my last Rajshri film, Vivah. I play Ritu Diwan, a young management trainee who is finding her own space in her father’s business. She is a Mumbai girl who is young, vivacious and More >

in Rumour has it
Amrita Rao is in a long-distance relationship with a certain Neil Kulkarni, an NRI orthopaedic surgeon based out of San Francisco
Kunal M Shah (MUMBAI MIRROR; February 26, 2011)
The rumours that suggested Amrita Rao was dating Shahid Kapoor can safely be put to rest.
Yes, Shahid has had Priyanka Chopra as his ladylove for quite long now but here’s the other side of the story. Amrita has been in a long-distance relationship with an NRI from San Francisco.
Our source said, “Amrita was once in the news for being artist MF Hussain’s muse. Later, Bollywood was always abuzz with rumours about Amrita dating different men but most of the rumours fell flat after a point of time.
But this time she seems to have finally found love. Amrita has been dating a certain Neil Kulkarni, an NRI orthopaedic surgeon based out of San Francisco.”
In August, last year, the actress was in the midst of her Rajshri Production shoot for Love You Mr Kalakaar in San Francisco.
She also participated in promoting a charity event there, during which she apparently met Neil.
They say, Amrita’s aunt introduced the two and also told her that he would be the perfect guy for her. Kulkarni works for one of the top hospitals there. According to sources, he too was quite smitten by Amrita.
The source added, “Amrita has tried hard to keep her personal life under wraps. Though it is a long-distance relationship, both Amrita and Neil are trying their level best to keep the romance More >
Vidya to go nude for MF Husain?
02 years ago
BOMBAY TIMES (February 12, 2011)
If buzz is to be believed, Vidya Balan might be immortalised in the nude by the ‘Picasso of India’, MF Husain. Reports are doing the rounds that the 95 plus painter, who recently accepted the citizenship of Qatar, is keen to paint Vidya in the buff on his canvas. Husain, who has previously been smitten by Madhuri Dixit, Amrita Rao and most recently, Anushka Sharma, put in a special request with Vidya.
Vidya, who is steadily climbing the sensuality charts, what with her brazen portrayal of a voluptuous vixen in Ishqiya and playing southern sex siren Silk Smitha in her next film, titled Dirty Picture, has reportedly not responded to Husain’s request as yet.
However, in previous interviews with BT, she divulged that “Husain saab” finds her “very sexy”. “He told me that he watched Ishqiya 12 times just for me. I was extremely flattered. I think his stroke is so sensual; he’s probably the best judge of sensuality. I hopefully will be immortalised not just through one medium but two (a film and a painting!)” she had once told us. Vidya, who was on a flight, could not be reached for comment.

He wishes to meet her personally. Hussainsaab has already watched Band Baaja Baaraat eight times.”
And given a chance, the artist would want to watch it again.
When contacted, Anushka’s spokesperson said, “Yes Hussainsaab has been showering Anushka with compliments.
M F HussainBut we have not had a direct dialogue with him so far. A well-known film critic did get in touch with us saying that Hussainsaab is extremely impressed with Anushka.
Once we contact the artist, we will think of the next course of action. We have so far not received any invitation from him directly. This is something that cannot be kept under wraps.”
Earlier, Hussain had made Gaja Gamini with Madhuri Dixit and Meenaxi-A Tale of Two Cities with Tabu. But he could not make a More >
