EXCLUSIVE: Ameesha Patel asserts that she wouldn’t play mother-in-law in Gadar 3; says, “I will never play a mother in law, ever, not even for Gadar brand”

Readers would be aware that followed by the stupendous success of Gadar and Gadar 2, filmmaker Anil Sharma has excitedly announced a third instalment of the romantic action drama. While Gadar 2 too was a continuation of Tara and Sakina i.e. Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s character from the prequel, the third installment too is expected to be a follow-up. In a recent interview, Bollywood Hungama discussed with Ameesha Patel about the possibility of playing a mother-in-law in Gadar 3 and the actress asserted that she would ‘never ever’ play that role.



Ameesha Patel explained that while she took the risk of playing a mother in Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Gadar 2, she wouldn’t want to ever play a mother-in-law even for the much popular Gadar franchise. She told Bollywood Hungama, “(I will) never play a mother-in-law, ever, not for Gadar brand, not for any other hero, producer, director? Ever.” She went on to describe the climax of Gadar 2 indicating that her onscreen Jeete may not have the same love interest or a love interest in the third installment. She added, “In fact, this was another question that loads of people said that there was no culmination. You know, Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma), the son of Tara and Sakina, kind of had a love interest, and through default, because of the problems faced there, he had no choice but to bring the girl back to India. But if you noticed, there was no acknowledgement from Sakina, and in the final shot of the film, it is only Tara, Sakina and Jeete, the family, hugging each other and the film ends there. It ends with the Taj Mahal shot, which was the memento and the symbol of love of Tara and Sakina. So, it will always be about Tara and Sakina. I don't think this place for another person to enter. Definitely, I would not play a mother-in-law for Gadar or any other film. That's for sure. She played a mother for Gadar, because she had complete conviction of the subject.”


She added, “I was like Ameesha Patel took the risk 22-23 years ago, when the entire industry advised her not to. And she took that risk only because she fell in love with other the film script, and by the grace of God, it was executed to the highest level. And then, Gadar rewrote history at the box office in 2001 in June. Similarly, I played a mother again, only for Gadar 2, because it was Gadar and it was a carry forward, right? But would Ameesha Patel play a mother or mother in law for any other brand, any production, any hero, any director, no she would not. So that is definitely a bone of contention”.
