Amrita enjoys being Hussain's muse Ever since 'Welcome To Sajjanpur' was declared a box office success, Amrita Rao is on a new high. The actress says
she is overwhelmed by the huge success of the film. "The audience has welcomed the film with open arms and the entire
team of Sajjanpur has enjoyed the process. The house full boards and the three stars were an added bonus. We are
thankful to the audience," says Amrita.
Renowned painter M.F. Hussain has also praised Amrita's role in the film and plans a series of paintings based on it.
Amrita laughs and says, "Yes he has watched it three times and any film which portrays Indian culture appeals to him.
He liked Vivaah too. I was apprehensive about this film because it was in stark contrast to Vivaah. There I was
educated, hailing from a good background. Here my role was diametrically opposite. I am uneducated in the film. Since
Hussain saab was born and brought up in Kolhapur, he was pleased to see me as a potter in the film. He is fond of
pottery. His first film Ghajagamini was based on pottery. After 11 years, he has declared me his next muse and that's the
biggest compliment I have ever got in my life. He has immortalised me on his canvas. When I look back at my career,
this is certainly going to be one of the landmark features in my profile." |
