Before consenting to a first time director, the first and foremost thing that I look for is the script. There are all kind of projects that have come my way and I look forward to that strong factor that could carry all of us; the kind of support...

He is decent looking, but I don't know about his sex appeal. You need to have a good personality and moral qualities, apart from looks to be sexy. He is a good cricketer, but I don't think he is sexy.
~ Amrita Rao

Hollywood certainly features in my scheme of things. I'd love to do a good film there,
~ Amrita Rao

~ Amrita Rao

I couldn't shoot for the song as I was busy shooting for Athidhi in Austria. Farah would call me up every time and badly wanted Sushmita, Zayed, Shah Rukh and myself to do a Main Hoon Na sequence but I just could not get out of my...
~ Amrita Rao

I didn't get a single chance to shoot with any cricketer. It has all been Harman's privilege and I am very jealous of him,
~ Amrita Rao

I haven't worked with her, but I'm totally comfortable with her and I think she is, too. Bebo is a cool girl.
~ Amrita Rao

I play Nandini, a medical student from Jaisalmer. The character is very strong and inspiring. Nandini's character is basically very vocal about her mind.
~ Amrita Rao

I think everyone has her own comfort level. We all have our priorities and USPs. When you're young, you need to cash in on your assets, whatever they might be. If they can sleep peacefully after what they do, good for them. I wouldn't do such roles because I'm not comfortable doing them. If I wear a swimsuit my discomfort would show, and the whole sensuality bit would fall apart.
~ Amrita Rao

I was working for the Telugu film 'Athidhi'. Also, my films, which are slated for release this year, kept me occupied,
~ Amrita Rao

I won't mind exposing on the demand of the script.
~ Amrita Rao

I'm choosy because you have to see to believe what kind of scripts filmmakers come up with - they are hilariously silly! I can't imagine from where they think of such stories; at times like that, you almost feel that Hindi cinema hasn't moved for decades. Out of so many that I hear, there might be only one or two worth considering. There's no choice but to be choosy.
~ Amrita Rao

I'm not only scared of being branded a lucky mascot but also of being typecast as the girl next door.
~ Amrita Rao

It does hurt reading malicious articles especially when people know who you are. I guess I will have to learn to take things in my stride
~ Amrita Rao

It is the best compliment of my life,
~ Amrita Rao

It seems just the other day when Farah and I had loads of fun doing Main Hoon Na. When her brother Sajid called me, I was so happy. I share a special relationship with both of them. Sajid wanted all the heroines who are his friends to be part of...
~ Amrita Rao

It surely is a new look for me. As an actress one cannot restrict oneself to a particular image and needs to constantly keep on experimenting with different kinds of looks, costumes and characters.
~ Amrita Rao

It was getting dark and I was really scared. So I just shouted pack up and ran for my car. It was hilarious everyone had a good laugh at my expense,
~ Amrita Rao

It was wonderful to do well there, as it is a male-dominated industry. It was a different and interesting experience. For instance, it was challenging to emote the right way on..
~ Amrita Rao

It wasn't a conscious decision to be bold or anything. It all depends on how different artists envision me. If Soorajji (Barjatya) could see me as this simple, docile small town girl in Vivah, then another person saw me the way I am on the magazine...
~ Amrita Rao

It's not a typical David Dhawan film at all. From what I could make out of the script it's far removed from the image that he has.
~ Amrita Rao

Mahadev is a character-driven film where the character I play speaks with a particular north Indian accent.
~ Amrita Rao

Marriages are forever, they should be forever. I think marriages are falling apart these days because egos have become larger than life. Women have become independent and so they easily walk out of relationships. Earlier the woman would totally depend on the man. There will be ups and downs in marriage and we should deal with it gracefully. Selfishness will leave us lonely at the end of the day. In my profession, girls are more committed; if they see someone or are married then they stick to their commitment. Guys just get carried away. So it is very difficult to say whether I will marry an actor. There are a few successful marriages in the industry too, but still... I feel that the first choice should be the last choice and that is also the reason why I haven't got a boy friend. If I decide to go around with a guy, I would want to marry him otherwise it doesn't make sense. So not just marriage but I must say that relationships are forever.
~ Amrita Rao

My role in this movie is of a Catholic girl, whose name is Ria. She is an assistant director in the movie. She is working with a well-acclaimed lady director. It was a great job to do a real life role. It's not a fictitious character
~ Amrita Rao

No way! Just like there was no fire on the sets of 'MHN' with a diva like Sushmita Sen. There's no denying that Bipasha is very sexy, but we have such defined roles in the film that there's no scope for rivalry. Besides, we got along very well. I think I have this strange bonding with Bongs - first Sushmita and now Bipasha!
~ Amrita Rao

Not even once it come across that he was acting like a cricketer. He used to give such subtle expressions while shooting with the professional cricketers and facing bowls from legendary players
~ Amrita Rao

They're kind of inculcating those kind of values among the young generation," Rao said. "Otherwise they would be totally disconnected from where they belong.
~ Amrita Rao

This is the first time I am playing such a rustic character. My character, Kamla, is a potter and is uneducated. It is a costume drama and we also had to adapt to the Bagilkhandi accent. I'm very...
~ Amrita Rao

Urvashi's a very sincere girl, mark my words she will go a long way. Urvashi's character is integral to the central plot of Naqaab, and...
~ Amrita Rao

We all invite you to Sajjanpur . It is a mad hatter town. We just want to invite the audience to come and have fun. That is the main objective. We are not here to preach. It is a funny film
~ Amrita Rao

We wanted the clothes to have a used feel and also I wanted to look comfortable and at ease in them, considering we're not really used to wearing a ghagra-choli everyday. So I would practice pottery in them everyday and they were washed several..
~ Amrita Rao

Well, marriages are made in heaven. God has destined us to pair with someone. I shall be married too like any other person. I am fully conscious of it.
~ Amrita Rao

What I like about Harman is his never say die attitude. He is always very gung ho about what he is doing. The way he has played thecharacter is absolutely fascinating. In fact what appealed me most about his performance was that he wasn't acting...
~ Amrita Rao

Yes, in Welcome to Sajjanpur, I will be seen looking much darker than I really am, almost three shades darker than my original complexion,
~ Amrita Rao

You know, there are some screen pairs that people don't forget, like Anil Kapoor-Madhuri, Shah Rukh-Kajol...and what's interesting is that even after two years, people remember Shahid and me as a great screen pair.
