WORLD CELEBRITY

Amrita Arora’s striking looks and a chirpy personality made sure that she didn’t stay in her sister Malaika Arora’s shadow for long and she held her own with a bagful of ad offers, movies and the who’s who of the film industry as her best buddies.

Amrita Arora, also known as Ammu, was born on 31st January 1978 in Mumbai, India to Joyce Polycrap, a Malayali and Anil Arora, a Punjabi. Amrita Arora’s sister Malaika Arora is also part of the celebrity circuit and is married to Arbaaz Khan who is actor Salman Khan’s brother. 

Before she took her wedding vows with Shakeel Ladak in March 2009, Amrita was going out with Kevin Otter, Ashmit Patel, Upen Patel and Usman Afzal.

Amrita Arora won the MTV VJ Hunt and hosted MTV Chillout and MTV Houseful. She also appeared in ads like Elle 18, Ponds and Sunsilk.

2002 Amrita Arora’s first movie was Kitne Door Kitne Paas opposite Fardeen Khan. Her second movie, a comedy based on The Whole Nine Yards called Awara Paagal Deewana, was more successful. She played Mona, a nagging wife.

2003 Her only release in 2003 was David Dhawan’s Ek Aur Ek Gyarah, apart from an appearance in a song in the movie Zameen.

2004 The year 2004 saw her in Shart: The Challenge, Girlfriend, a special appearance in Mujhse Shaadi Karoge and Rakht: What If You Can See the Future. Girlfriend caused a stir owing to an onscreen lesbian relationship between her character and the one played by Isha Koppikar.

2006 Her movies Raakh, Deha and Fight Club – Members Only were average. 

2007 Her releases in 2007 came and went without any impact like Red: The Dark Side, Speed and Godfather. She also shook a leg in a song in Heyy Baby and then again in Om Shanti Om.

2008 Her biggest hit in 2008 was Golmaal Returns, in which she played Esha, Ajay Devgan’s sister and Arshad Warsi’s fiancée. She was also seen in Hello, which was an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s One Night at a Call Center, Heroes and Kambakth Ishq
