“Salman Khan inspires me to have a shapely, toned body”, insists Amisha Patel

Fitness-icon gorgeous Bollywood actress ‘ageless’ Amisha Patel still ‘treasures fond memories’ of the location-shoot of her mega-hit debut musical-thriller movie ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’ (year 2000) with Hrithik Roshan on the amazing avenues and scenic backdrop of Christchurch city in New Zealand.

The articulate music-dance-savvy actress Amish has been inducted by the Channel, into the widely-watched Bigg Boss-13th season starting Sunday 29th of this month on Colors. 

When Salman complimented Amisha for her shapely trim body and her fitness-videos, Amisha responded with, “You are my inspiration and you are the trendsetter for sculpted bodies,” as they both exchanged quirky banter on push-ups and weight-lifting. “Amisha is so hot that she makes sweat,” joked Salman who was sweating due to the sweltering heat inside the Metro Railway yard where he travelled inside the compartment and flagged off the Bigg Boss-13 ‘Celebrity Express’ metro-train at Andheri West in Mumbai.  

Incidentally, Amisha and Salman have been romantically paired in this hit movie ‘Yeh Hai Jalwa’ (2002) directed by David Dhawan.

When Bigg Boss reality show host Salman Khan announced that he would invite “Meena ”, on the stage, everyone present was intrigued. Seconds later it was unveiled that her buddy-actor Salman Khan calls me ‘meri Meena (Kumari ) because I keep crying during the shoots. And it is Salman who makes me cry,” she quipped.

Over the years Amisha has always been an addicted-watcher of the ‘Bigg Boss’ show. “From among all my friends I have been watching it the most, as I feel it has a lot of intrigue value. As to how contestants reveal their ‘true colours’ in given adverse situations.

It’s a challenging on-going task. And with the amazing charisma of jovial host Salman, you can’t help but watch the BB show,” insists the outspoken Patel who has also acted in her Hindi home-production movie ‘Desi Magic’ where she plays a contrasting ‘double-role’.

The creative Big Boss of Viacom 18, Nina Elavia Jaipuria, shared with me in an exclusive that the telecast of BB-13 was pre-planned to premiere its telecast on 29th Sept, on Colors. Which in turn marks the onset of auspicious Navratri-Durga Puja festival popular amongst Indians and NRIs for the colourful ethnic revelry and garba-dandiya dancing at late-night sessions.
