When Ameesha started dancing in a cool style, Rakesh Roshan noticed her. He went straight to his father and asked – who is this? Girlfriend? Got the answer – No Rakesh, this is my daughter Ameesha. Just returned from studies in Boston. Rakesh told him- When I launch my son Hrithik, I will make your daughter a heroine. Father said- No, she is going to Boston for studies. There is no question of working in films. After her initial studies, Ameesha did Bio-Genetic Engineering from TUFT University, Boston and later studied Economics. Ameesha’s father Amit Patel often had to meet people from the film world. One day he called Ameesha who was living in Boston and told that Vinod uncle (Vinod Khanna) wants you to debut in films with his son Akshay Khanna’s debut film Himalaya Putra, but we refused. We do not want your studies to be affected. Ameesha did not pay attention to this because she herself had never thought of coming into films.
