Sweet and dainty Amrita Rao, from a Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family was always fascinated by acting. Her first modeling assignment was for Fairever fairness cream and within a couple of months, she became a model for many top brand companies and did nearly 35 ad films. Cadbury's Perk and Bru coffee ads offered her a platform to step into the film industry.
The pretty lass debuted in the film 'Ab Ke Baras' (2002), but shot into public notice with 'Ishq Vishk Pyaar Vyaar'. 'Mein Hoon Na', 'Deewar' and 'Masti' are her other films. With her typical girl-next-door image, this graduate in Psychology stands on a different course, she feels that if not in films there are other fields to excel in.
