Amrita Rao and her husband RJ Anmol revealed in a new episode of their show some things he refused to be part of the talent in-house film Yash Raj. He also shared that he had previously offered two films by production houses – Nalki ‘n’ Nikki and Bachna Ae Haseeno – but refused to be part of them because he was uncomfortable with a kiss scene.
The video starts with Amrita and Anmol talking about how it feels ‘very low’ after they witness Luv Ka, starring Shraddha Kapoor, together in the theater. “Mujhe Yeh lag Raha Tha Ki Aisi’s clean family film with Yash Raj Mujhe Kyun Nahi Mi Rahi Yaar (I wonder why I didn’t offer a clean family movie with Yash Raj Film)? I deserve it,” he said.
Seeing the setback of Amrita, Anmol with tears, which made him realize that ‘God has given (he) is a very valuable soulmate’ and he must appreciate that instead of making upset about things he doesn’t have.
A few months later, in November 2011, Amrita received a message from Yash Chief Yash Movie and Managing Director Aditya Chopra. He asked him to come to the office to meet and extend the offer to become ‘Yash Raj Heroine’ home.
Amrita said that Aditya told him that he was a ‘women’s hero’ and had a ‘picture of Rajshri’ but the films were not only for family viewers. He asked him if he still had a reservation about the scene kiss or if he was ‘open to try various things’.
Before Amrita left, Aditya told him that there was no ‘formality’ and if he was uncomfortable, all he needed to do was send him ‘no’ and he would understand. He revealed that when he told his manager about the offer, he said that only the announcement he came with Yash Movie Raj alone would lead to brand support and film to be poured.
Amrita said that he discussed the offer with Anmol and Sooraj Barjatya, both of which suggested him to follow his heart. “Uss Din Jab Main Shaam Ko Ghar Pe Aayi After all, he was confused, he was in the Mein and then I just felt it Jo Cheez to the main peeche ITNA Bhaag Rahi Thi Aur So Mujhe Yeh Chahiye, after all Jahad Mujhe’s match Yeh Chahiye Hai Nahi (when I returned home At night, I was very confused and then I felt that I was chasing, when I finally got it, maybe I didn’t want it), “he said.
Amrita sent Aditya’s message that she was in ‘feeling feeling’ and ‘would not be able to do justice to’ the offer. He said that he replied that he understood his decision and hoped to return to him in the future with the offer he would enjoy.
Anmol revealed that Aditya was the first person from the industry who knew about Amrita’s relationship with him. “I have to tell him because Adi Sir is very valuable. He is very, very special and I have the highest respect for him in the film industry,” he said.
