Amrita Rao Shares How Shah Rukh Khan’s Advice Shaped Her Career Choices

Published on

Amrita Rao, known for her versatile performances, made a notable return to films with Jolly LLB 3. Her re-entry into the film industry after a long hiatus has been well received. She was once one of the most popular actresses in Bollywood but gradually became selective in choosing roles.

In a recent podcast, Amrita opened up about her career choices and shared how Shah Rukh Khan’s advice during the filming of Main Hoon Na influenced her approach to selecting movies. Her insights into how she chooses roles shed light on her careful, strategic decision-making in the film industry.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Valuable Advice

Amrita revealed that during the shoot of Main Hoon Na, Shah Rukh Khan gave her a piece of advice that would change her career. She recalled, “He told me that while 200 films may come our way, we should only pick two. Out of those, one should be a film that people are waiting for.”

This advice, according to Amrita, has guided her film selection process ever since. She made it clear that she became highly selective about the roles she took up, focusing on quality over quantity. This advice has had a lasting impact on her career and has shaped her approach to film roles.

How Shah Rukh Khan Helped Her Feel Comfortable on Set

Amrita further shared that Shah Rukh Khan was always observant and attentive on set. She mentioned that he noticed whenever she worked with newcomers. Shah Rukh would take steps to ease the nervous energy of new actors, making them feel more comfortable. She recalled that every time she worked with him, “the first take was always the best take, and there was never a second take.”

This behavior, she says, showed Shah Rukh Khan’s professionalism and dedication to creating the best performance on the first try. His ability to make actors feel at ease allowed the team to deliver their best work without the anxiety that often accompanies a first-time shoot.

Amrita Rao’s Selective Career Choices

The advice from Shah Rukh Khan about selecting only a few films to make an impact explains Amrita’s selective approach in choosing roles. While many actresses opt to appear in multiple films, Amrita has always chosen her roles with care.

By limiting her appearances and focusing on projects that were meaningful, Amrita carved a unique path for herself in the industry. This strategy may have led to fewer films, but it helped maintain the quality of her career and sustained her popularity over the years.

Amrita’s decision to only take on projects that excited her has paid off in terms of audience admiration and respect. She also highlighted that with fewer films, it became essential to choose projects that would leave a lasting impact.

Jolly LLB 3: A Successful Comeback

Amrita’s latest venture, Jolly LLB 3, has been a hit with both critics and audiences alike. She plays the role of Arshad Warsi’s wife in the film, sharing the screen with popular stars like Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi. The film’s success has brought her back into the limelight, proving her enduring talent and ability to bring depth to her characters.

Jolly LLB 3 has received praise for its engaging storyline and powerful performances. Amrita’s role as the supportive wife of a lawyer added a unique dimension to the narrative, and her performance was widely appreciated. Her comeback has sparked discussions about her future in the industry and whether she will continue to take on significant roles.

The Success of the Jolly LLB Franchise

The Jolly LLB franchise has been a major success in Bollywood. The first part, Jolly LLB, was released in 2013, starring Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao in the lead roles. The film became a hit for its witty humor and sharp social commentary.

In 2017, the second part of the franchise, Jolly LLB 2, was released with Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi in the lead roles. The second installment continued the franchise’s success, establishing Jolly LLB as a beloved series in Bollywood.

The success of Jolly LLB and its sequels shows the franchise’s ability to adapt and engage audiences over time. With each installment, the series continues to deliver both entertainment and socially relevant messages, making it a significant part of Bollywood’s recent history.

Looking Forward to the Future

Amrita Rao’s return to the industry has sparked a renewed interest in her acting career. After being selective in the films she chose, she has made a successful comeback with Jolly LLB 3. This return marks an exciting new chapter in her career, and fans are eager to see what she will do next.

As an actress who values the quality of her roles, Amrita’s future choices will likely reflect the same level of care and attention she has always given to her work. Her focus on choosing films that resonate with both her and her audience will ensure that she continues to make a meaningful impact in the film industry.

Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of making thoughtful decisions in one’s career and how patience can lead to long-term success.

Amrita Rao’s career is a testament to the value of quality over quantity in the film industry. Guided by Shah Rukh Khan’s advice, she has made careful choices that have helped her maintain a strong presence, even in a competitive industry. Her recent return with Jolly LLB 3 is proof that making the right decisions can lead to success and admiration.

Amrita’s story is inspiring for many young actors looking to carve their path in the industry. As she continues her journey, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see what projects she takes on next.
