Ameesha Patel on why she is single

Ameesha Patel appeared on a podcast on Ranveer Allahbadia’s YouTube channel and said, “People who love you will let your career prosper. I have lost a lot for my career, and I have also lost a lot for love. I have given up both things for the other, and I think that I have learnt from both. For example, I had one serious relationship, and it was before I joined films. He belonged to a very big industrial family from South Bombay, like mine. Had the same background and education, and the family setup was the same. It ticked all the boxes, but when I decided to go into film, my partner did not want a person in the public eye, and that is how I chose my career over love.”

Patel shared that despite being single at 50, she is open to the idea of marriage.

She said she is “all up for it” as long as she finds someone worthy, adding, “Where there is a will, there is a way, so the person who finds me through everything and mauke par chauka maarlega (takes advantage of the situation) will be my person.”

The actor revealed that she continues to receive proposals from men half her age. “I have met a lot of people older than me who have the IQ of a fly,” she remarked.

Ameesha Patel says she is open to having one-night stand with Tom Cruise

In the same podcast, the Gadar actor also opened up about having a crush on Tom Cruise. She even said that she is open to having a one-night stand with the Hollywood star.

“I have a crush on Tom Cruise. If you can do a podcast with him, then please invite me to that podcast. I’ve liked Tom Cruise since childhood. I had his picture on my pencil box, in my files, and the only poster in my room was of Tom Cruise. He has always been my crush. I always joke that he’s the only man for whom I could put aside my principles. I could do anything for him. If you ask me whether I could have a one-night stand with him, yes, I could," she added.
