She is academically oriented, or so she proudly claims to be. Amisha Patel also carries her `bible`, Kahlil Gibran`s The Prophet wherever she goes and refers to it every now and then. Which only suggests she has a deep interest in all things spiritual and has a philosophical bent of mind.

Thus it made people do a double take when Ms. Patel was heard complaining against directors, Tanujaa Chandra (Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar)and Naresh Malhotra (Kranti) for not "presenting me properly." Director Chandra herself takes the blame for the film`s fiasco but the Gujju actress is less relenting in her reproach," I was appreciated hugely for my performance in Gadar and Kaho Na Pyar Hai because the scripts were fantastic."

You said it, Amisha. If the scripts are strong, anyone can deliver. How about rising to the occasion when the scripts are bold but not popularly compelling? It is then that one`s acting potential is put to test, dear!
