Amrita Rao’s portrayal of Poonam in Vivah was more than just a performance; it was a nostalgic embrace of traditional Indian values that resonated deeply with the audience. Her character was a graceful and soft-spoken young woman who was trying to navigate an arranged marriage. After Vivah’s release, Amrita’s character became the epitome of admirable simplicity and innocence. Amrita’s understated yet powerful acting captivated audiences, showcasing a subtle depth that distinguished her from other contemporary heroines. Years later, that magic still continues to charm the new generation with Shahid and Amrita’s memes and trending videos that celebrate their iconic scenes.

She stated, “After Vivah, I used to get NRI proposals with family photos, people standing next to their car and dog, saying ‘mujhse shaadi karlo.’ And not just one or two… I got many! I used to laugh and wonder, ‘Kya log hain yeh!’” Not only this, the actress shared that she also received several letters, among which one was written with blood. “Once, I received a letter written in blood, and that was very scary. There was this guy who would stand at the telephone booth outside my house, and my mom or dad would have to pick up the phone. It got a little much,” she admitted.
Amidst the unlimited pouring of love and appreciation that came her way, Amrita Rao still faced some professional struggles. The actress opened up about meeting her husband, RJ Anmol, at a very crucial point in life, when she was getting all the attention from the audience, and yet was not able to grab another project of her choice. She explained that many big offers came her way, but had additional conditions like a kissing scene, which made her take a step back from the glitzy world.
Meanwhile, the actress has made a rocking comeback in the world of Bollywood with the recent release of Jolly LLB 3. The movie stars Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Huma Qureshi, Gajraj Rao, Saurabh Shukla and other actors. Amrita Rao can be seen reprising her role of Sandhya, Jagdish Tyagi’s wife.
