Amrita Rao, one of Bollywood’s most beloved actresses, rose to fame with her performance in the 2006 hit Vivah.
Vivah was not just a commercial success; it became a cultural phenomenon. The story of arranged marriage, love, and commitment resonated deeply with audiences.
While she continued to work in films like Masti, Welcome to Sajjanpur, and Main Hoon Na, the shadow of Vivah lingered.
Post-Vivah, Amrita Rao noticed an influx of proposals from non-resident Indians eager to connect with the actress.
While many were harmless, she admitted that some of the attention became overwhelming. She recalled instances where admirers sent blood-written letters a shocking and extreme demonstration of devotion.
“These were strange experiences,” Rao said. “It made me realize that fame has two sides. While I loved the appreciation, there were moments when it felt isolating.”
