Amisha Patel says that nowadays she is doing roles that excite her even though they are unglamorous.
Talking to a weekly film newspaper, Amisha said that she loves portraying average, unglamorous people in Bollywood movies because they often make for strong roles.
Amisha plays a homemaker in two of her forthcoming movies TathastuAnkahee .
“No glamorous clothes, no fancy hairstyles and no makeup,'' she told the newspaper. “What really matters to me is that I must have some great scenes to enact. ... I'm taking up roles that excite me'', Amisha added.
In Tathastu, set for release on Friday, Amisha plays a homemaker whose middle-class husband ( Sanjay Dutt ) is driven to desperation when her son falls ill and cannot afford medical treatment.
In Ankahee releasing later this month, Amisha plays a homemaker whose husband ( Aftab Shivdasani ) has an affair with a beauty queen Esha Deol ).
