It is known to all that Ameesha Patel was in a relationship with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt for several years, and she was quite vocal about their relationship in public. However, Ameesha now believes that making her relationship with Vikram public affected her career.?

In a new interview, the actress revealed how that love affair adversely affected her career. She told Bollywood Hungama, "In this industry, honesty is not welcome and I am someone who is very honest. I am someone who wears my heart on my sleeves. I think that has been the biggest drawback for me in my life. And definitely, the only two relationships that I ever had in public, the only two I ever had, they did take a beating on my career. For 12-13 years, I was like, 'No men. Only peace. I want nothing else in my life'.”

Ameesha added, "Because the single status of a girl is always more attractive to the people that you work around. It's always more attractive for your audiences. And they feel if you're single or you're dating someone in the industry or a superstar, that only benefits your career. Otherwise, they don't accept it. See, a heroine dating a hero can still do films with the hero and continue getting work. For me, that was not the case. So, it does take a beating but you learn from it."

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ameesha is all set to reprise her role of Sakina in ‘Gadar 2’ with co-star Sunny Deol. The film will be released on August 11, 2023, and clash with Akshay Kumar's ‘OMG 2’ at the box office.
