We have to thank executives from Cadbury's Perk Karwa Chau and Bru Coffee for introducing lovely and cute Bollywood actress, Amrita Rao, to the public through their product advertisements.
She has really come a long, long way! After her acting debut with Ab Ke Baras in 2002, her movies have captured the heart of millions, including this writer (who is really quite jealous of Shahid Kapoor, her partner in so many romantic movies, see fan video below)
I patiently await Amrita Rao in two major big-budget films to be released this year (2013): Anil Sharma's Singh Sahab the Great opposite Sunny Deol, and Prakash Jha's Satyagraha.
Amrita was born to a Mangalorean Brahmin family in Mumbai, India. Her father owns an advertising company in Mumbai and also turned author in 2008. She speaks Hindi, English, Marathi, besides her mother tongue, Konkani. She attended the Canossa Convent High School (Mahim) in Mumbai, and later enrolled in Sophia College to pursue a degree in Psychology. Her younger sister, Preetika Rao, is a model and well-known film journalist and columnist.
