Ameesha Patel during an interaction with a portal, opened up about her experience in 'Mangal Pandey: The Rising'. Directed by Ketan Mehta, the film featured Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji. Ameesha played the role of a widow, who was rescued from a sati ritual by a British character played by Toby Stephens. Sharing about Rani's role, Ameesha said, “In Mangal Pandey, she (Rani) was not the heroine of the film. When Aamir narrated me the subject I was opposite the British actor Toby Stephens, and it was only one love angle. And Aamir had a love angle with a British actress, who gets jealous in the middle, that's why the film was a little roughly edited. Rani was only supposed to be there as a guest appearance for one song.” She also added, “Aamir, halfway through the filming, felt that there is one love story with a British actor so let me be earthy and let me have a love story with someone Indian so the audience can relate. From just one item song, Rani ended up having a Holi song with me… but I never felt that why. In fact, she would always say on set, “arey tu kaise itni dubli hai, bata mujhe” because her typical style of talking and I would be sitting, talking while looking prim and proper. There was this contrast completely and we all had a blast shooting. You have to be secure with yourself, leave whatever they want to talk about and just do your job.” For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
