Ameesha Patel says opening up about relationships affected her career

Ameesha Patel is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Gadar 2: The Katha Continues where she is reuniting with Sunny Deol. In a recent interview, Ameesha revealed that discussing her relationships in public had a negative impact on her career. She said that as a result she avoided associating with men for more than ten years.

Speaking to a leading news agency Ameesha said, “Honesty is not welcome in this industry and I am very honest. In my life. And of course, the only two relationships I’ve had in public have hurt my career. For 12-13 years, I was like, ‘No men. Only peace’ .I want nothing else in my life.

The actress further discussed the impact it has had on her professional life, saying that being single has always been considered more attractive by the people she works with and the audience. There is a belief that staying single or dating a superstar or any superstar in the industry only benefits his/her career, other than that nothing is acceptable. Conversely, a female protagonist dating a male protagonist can still work together and continue to receive work opportunities. However, this was not the case for him. So, it had a negative impact, but he learned from it.
