Even as the city buzzes with rumours that the actor is ready to quit films in favour of matrimony, Amrita admits as much to BT in a candid interview
MADHUREETA MUKHERJEE Times News Network.
Is it really true that you’re tying the knot?
Well, there is an astrologer I really believe in. He has predicted almost everything about my life to the T. He strongly believes that I will tie the knot before Diwali this year — in the next six months or so. According to him this is not just a good time, but the only time for me to get married. It will be the most fantastic thing to happen to me.
So are you calling it quits in Bollywood?
I’ve had the opportunity to do a variety of roles very early in my career, and I’ve been lucky to have worked some good directors and banners. Post marriage, coming back to films seems difficult. There’s a time for everything in life and I want to whole-heartedly enjoy my married life.
You’re young. Couldn’t you have waited a few years before taking the plunge?
I believe you should get married young, it’s easier to find a partner at this age. Besides, I would love to spend the best days of my youth with my man, instead of being by myself. I don’t want to wait till the fag end of my ’30s when my youth has passed away. Work will happen, but you don’t meet a great guy everyday, right?
This news will come as a shock to your directors and producers...
Fortunately, I am completing my films in the next few months, so I am not going to deceive any director, or leave any producer in the lurch. I have enjoyed stardom, now it’s time for something new. So I am quickly wrapping my work commitments, so that I can make new ties.
So who’s the mystery man?
Well, I am still looking for him. My astrologer has told me that I should look at many prospective men before I settle down with one. I have to go on this man hunt; I cannot marry the tenth man I meet. He’s clearly told me that my soul mate is lakhon mein ek. So to find ‘the one’ I have to meet a whole lot of them, and I am sure somewhere down the line I will know who the right one is. Being an actor makes my search even more difficult. I have always believed in marrying a simple man, not necessarily someone in the same profession as me. So I thought maybe the timesmatri service www.timesmatri.com) can be of great help, I’ve heard a lot of people use the matrimony services to search for their lifepartner.
Why not a swayamvar?
That’s like going back to the Ramayana era. I probably won’t have a typical, traditional swayamvar like Ram and Sita, where 100 men queue up to impress the lady to be garlanded and wedded, but yes, I will talk and meet numerous prospective grooms before giving my willing nod for the shaadi.
Maybe you’re getting influenced by Vivaah, the film you are shooting for currently?
Ha! Ha! Only if movies were real, but no, I am not influenced by any movie. This is a mere coincidence.
You’ll be missed in tinselville for sure?
Yeah, I hope you guys miss me. I will miss you guys for sure!

I have to agree and say that Amrita and Shahid should go out. they make a cute couple especially in Vivah! | |
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.
