In the industry of entertainment someone's loss becomes another person's gain. The same holds true for debutant
actor Amrita Puri. She is an amchi Mumbai mulgi who will soon be seen in Anil Kapoor Productions 'Aisha'. She
plays the character of Harriet Smith from Jane Austen's book Emma. Prior to Aisha, Amrita has been a part of many
Ads as a model.
But what many aren't aware is that this fresh face girl's first brush with stardom would have been in Dibankar
Banerjee's Love Sex Aur Dhoka. "I had auditioned for Aisha and bagged the role. Soon after that I auditioned for LSD
because I knew that Dibakar was directing it and I really wanted to work with him. I gave the audition and forgot
about it because I thought I had not done a great job. I tend to be very critical of myself. I finalized my dates for
Aisha. Then to my surprise Dibakar liked my audition and I got selected LSD too (the role which eventually was
played by Shruti). Like the saying goes when it rains it pours. Unfortunately the dates for both the films were
clashing and I had to pass on LSD." says Amrita Puri.
"I tried sorting out the dates but it was just not possible. I hope to work with Dibankar in the future. I have heard great
things about him from Abhay Deol who is my co-star in Aisha." adds Amrita excitedly.
Will Love Sex Aur Dhoka's loss become Aisha's gain, only time will tell? Guess we will have to wait till the release of
the film Aisha.
