The besotted cricketer not only flew into Mumbai to be with the actress, he actually accompanied her to the set of Kaun Banega Crorepati where she had gone to cheer on her sister Malaika Arora and brother-in-law Malaika Arora.
"Not just Usman, but also his brother from Pakistan. They were both down. So when I decided to join my sister and Arbaaz on the sets of KBC (for their friendship special featuring Karan Johar-Farah Khan, Farhan-Zoya Akhtar and Malaika-Arbaz) Usman and his brother joined me there.
Everyone else had their loved ones there—even Shah Rukh's wife Gauri had visited for this celebrity special—so why not me?"
This was Amrita's first appearance on Indian television with her across-the-border beau. She says in a couple of years she'll be all set to tie the knot with the cricketer. "I'm certain this is the man for me. We'll make it legal whenever it's the right time for both of us."
Amrita will be the second Bollywood actress after Reena Roy to marry a Pakistani cricketer.
Her birthday party on Tuesday night was cancelled because of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections.
"I was shooting for a new comedy Kuch Love Kuch Drama with Rajpal Yadav and a whole ensemble cast. They brought in a cake at midnight. It was fun. I'll have my birthday bash as soon as my new home is ready in a couple of months."
