Amrita Rao was born to well-to-do Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family.Her dad’s name is Deepak Rao. She has a sister named Preeta and there is an on-going debate in the media if Preeta is Rao’s twin sister.She speaks English, Hindi, Marathi & Konkani.

She stands about 5.0 feet tall.She entered the world of modeling quite by chance, when she auditioned for an advertising film for Fairever Face Cream. Success came thereafter. She was picked up for the close up ad which brought her the much wanted fame. Within months she became the model for the top brands of the country.

Within 18 months, she was the face that promoted Major Brands such as Clean & Clear Face Wash, Pantene Hair Wash, wriggly Chewing Gum, Domino’s Pizza, Anne French, HMT Watches. Apart from this she also did a number of South Indian commercial ads. She also did Cadbury’s Perk and the Bru coffee ad.This brought in a number of movie offers for her.She has also been signed on as the brand ambassador for Miss Players.

Having modeled for nearly 35 ads, her decision to act in films didn’t come as a surprise. What came as a surprise was that unlike other models who dropped out of college to pursue their careers, Amrita Rao preferred to thumb down film offers to complete her graduation in psychology.

She made her cinematic debut in the 2002 film “Ab Ke Baras”, but gained recognition only after the success of her 2003 film, “Ishq Vishk”, in which her portrayal as Payal earned her the girl-next door image. Success followed for her in 2004 films like “Masti” and “Main Hoon Na”. However her following releases “Deewaar” (2004), “Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi” (2005), “Shikhar” (2005), and “Pyare Mohan” (2006) did poorly at the box office.

Her most recent release, “Vivah” opposite Shahid Kapoor was a universal success. Her performance was well appreciated from critics.

Next, she is doing Athidhi with Telugu movie star Mahesh Babu.

Amrita Rao likes watching Sajid Khan’s shows and reading story books .She is a very kind hearted person who hates selfish people. She wants to be a social worker and help the mentally challenged kids.
