Ameesha Patel made a splendid comeback in Gadar 2, the second installment of her 2001 hit film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Gadar 2: Katha Continues follows the story of Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s first film focusing on their son’s life who was grown up. The story saw a leap of 22 years and now the third part is expected to continue from where it ended. Considering that it is assumed that the actress who played the lead may become a mother-in-law extending the story, however Ameesha claimed that she would never accept that role. She also gave a major update on the story regarding her on-screen son Jeete's (Utkarsh Sharma) love life.
The actress explained that she took the risk of playing mother in both parts of the film. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama she said, “I will never play a mother-in-law, ever, not for Gadar brand, not for any other hero, producer, director? Ever. You know, Jeete, the son of Tara and Sakina, kind of had a love interest, and through default, because of the problems faced there, he had no choice but to bring the girl back to India. But if you noticed, there was no acknowledgement from Sakina, and in the final shot of the film, it is only Tara, Sakina and Jeete, the family, hugging each other and the film ends there. It ends with the Taj Mahal shot, which was the memento and the symbol of love of Tara and Sakina. So, it will always be about Tara and Sakina. I don't think this place for another person to enter. Definitely, I would not play a mother-in-law for Gadar or any other film. That's for sure. She played a mother for Gadar, because she had complete conviction of the subject.”
She further added, “I was like Ameesha Patel took the risk 22-23 years ago, when the entire industry advised her not to. And she took that risk only because she fell in love with other the film script, and by the grace of God, it was executed to the highest level. And then, Gadar rewrote history at the box office in 2001 in June. Similarly, I played a mother again, only for Gadar 2, because it was Gadar and it was a carry forward, right? But would Ameesha Patel play a mother or mother in law for any other brand, any production, any hero, any director, no she would not. So that is definitely a bone of contention”.
