But it didn't take Amrita too long to reach, where she actually belongs - the silver screen. And what better way to start than working for your old friend.
Amrita has just been signed for Mahesh Bhatt's latest venture Kalyug to be directed by Mohit Suri. The film is Bhatt's 'War against Pornography', in which Amrita pitches in as a vamp.
"I play the negative lead in the film. It deals with the pornographic world and I am in control of it and did it for Mahesh Bhatt, with whom I did Naam, Kabzaa, and Thikana," she says.
Earlier this year she was scheduling to feature in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna of Karan Johar's after saying goodbye to Saif Ali Khan.
