You have come a long way since Ab Ke Baras. How much do you think have you grown as an actress?
I haven't really had any formal training in acting or dancing. For me cinema was something I was fascinated by, something I loved doing. When I was not in the movies I used to watch a film and see other actress perform. I always used to feel maybe even I can do it. For me everyday of work is like practical training. I am learning with different characters and situations. It just helps me discover my range and sometimes surprise myself.
There was buzz that you are assisting on some film
No, I am not working as an assistant director but I am playing the role of an assistant director in a film. The film is called My Name is Anthony Gonsalves directed by E.Niwas.
In the movie I play the character of a Catholic girl called Rhea who works as an assistant director for a film. For me it was something very different after leaving behind a role of a small town girl Poonam from Madhupur (Vivah) because now I get the opportunity to play the contemporary girl from Bombay who is in the showbiz. Being an assistant director she has to conduct auditions, she has a lot of responsibilities – just like an assistant director would be in real life. I have seen assistant directors work so hard and run around the whole day on the sets. They have to always be very alert. It's a very serious job. Most assistant directors want to be directors eventually and so for them it's like a learning ground. You see that excitement, that enthusiasm in them. It's like school for them.
Any plans of directing a movie anytime soon in real life?
Well right now I am very happy acting. In fact I have a lot more to prove and a long way to go. Acting keeps changing with different characters, situations and scenes it's very challenging. Direction is something which I would leave for somebody who is more carved out for it.
So will Rhea depict all the lineaments of a Catholic Girl?
See, Rhea is not a very typical conventional Catholic girl like you usually see in films where Catholics have a typical accent when they speak Hindi. The male lead of Anthony Gonsalves played by Nikhil Dwivedi is more street-smart kind of a role, Rhea is more refined. It is a very sweet bubbly role, she is a girl who has a mind of her own, but is petrified of her director Miss Barucha in the movie played by Lilette Dubey. It's a very fascinating situation and its very cute film.
How did your association with E.Niwas happen?
I first got to know about E Niwas through the movie Shool which got him a National Award. Then I saw his film Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega that again was a very sweet film. I remember I thought to myself that it would be wonderful to work with him. That one thought, one wish was granted and two years later I landed in his film. He saw me and wanted me to play Rhea and I was more than honoured.
There were rumours of a linkup between you and this newcomer Nikhil Dwivedi paired opposite you in the film.
Oh, that is all crap. As you said, it is all rumours.

Note: This is not Amrita Rao's official website. It's highly unlikely that she visits this site or even knows about it. So please dont post any personal messages to her as it wont reach her.
But still if you want to just show the world that how much you love her, please go ahead and do it :-). Probably someday we will try to send the message across to her.
