A lot of things have changed in Ameesha Patel's life since she made her debut as the cute girl next door opposite Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hsai, 8 years ago.

To start off, with the actress no longer lives with her family and has even dropped her surname. Secondly, she has gone in for a spell change and now wants to be called Ameesha (note the new spelling) However, the things that interest us most is the make-over which the actress has gone through and suddenly from the cute and chirpy Ameesha Patel you have the sizzling hot Ameesha.

Ameesha sure wants to make most of her new sexy look.

After a super-successful start to her career with back to back smash hits like Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Gadar-Ek Prem Katha, everyone thought Ameesha would be the next big thing in Bollywood.

However, some wrong choice of films and problems galore on the personal front resulted in Ameesha's career going off-track. But now, this Gujju babe has decided its time to move on and has indeed worked hard to get into shape and the results are there for all to see.

Ameesha's sizzling bikini act in the Lazy Lamhe song from the Yash Raj flick Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic sure had the male folk asking for more.

Ameesha may not have the longest legs in tinsel-town but she doesn't mind flaunting those legs now that she is in shape. In this issue of Man's World, Ameesha confesses that she simply loves good food and can never starve.

That means that this stunning beauty surely must have gone through quite a grueling work-out schedule to lose some of the flab and look her curvaceous best

Ameesha has always been open about the men in her life. She is currently on a high both professionally as well as personally as she has found the love of her life in hotelier-businessman Kanav Puri. As she herself says, "I hate any man who tries too hard to impress."

Well, Kanav surely seems to have got it right in wooing Madame Ameesha. Here, Ameesha is seen sizzling in a Grecian cut pleated Black silk dress with some really beautiful diamonds and a designer purse to go with. Way to go babe!!!
