Ameesha Patel has taken to social media to extend her thanks to director Anil Sharma for acknowledging the pivotal role played by the love story between Tara Singh and Sakeena in the success of their recent film, Gadar 2. In a heartwarming response to Anil Sharma's celebratory post, Ameesha expressed her appreciation for the director's recognition of the enduring impact of their characters on the audience.
Anil Sharma, the director of Gadar 2, shared a poster of the film along with the latest box office figures, thanking the audience for their love and support. In his post, he described Tara and Sakeena's love as "sabse pyara" (the cutest) and highlighted how their eternal love story continues to touch people's hearts even in the film's fourth week of release.
Ameesha Patel's response to Anil Sharma's post was heartfelt. She affirmed the significance of their characters, stating, "So glad @Anilsharma_dir … yes .. TARA +SAKINA = GADAR !!! Ur thought related to this post is bang on!! Audiences love is great for TARA N SAKINA."
This social media exchange between Ameesha Patel and Anil Sharma comes in the wake of recent controversies surrounding the film. Ameesha had previously stated that she would reject an offer for Gadar 3 if the screen time for Tara and Sakeena's characters was not substantial enough.
Anil Sharma, in response to Ameesha's comments, chose to maintain his respect for the actress and downplayed the significance of her statements. He emphasized that the character of Sakina was born from his heart and expressed uncertainty regarding the future of Gadar 3.
The feud between Anil Sharma and Ameesha Patel had gained attention earlier when Anil referred to Ameesha as 'bade ghar ki bitiya' (daughter of a rich family) and criticized her acting abilities. Ameesha, on the other hand, had accused the filmmaker of delays in payment of her dues and mismanagement on the sets of Gadar.
Despite the controversies surrounding the film and the personal differences between its director and lead actress, Gadar 2 has managed to captivate audiences with its storyline set in 1971, following the journey of Tara Singh as he embarks on a mission to rescue his son from Pakistan. The film also features Utkarsh Sharma as Jeete, Manish Wadhwa as the main antagonist, and Gaurav Chopra as an Indian Army officer.
In the end, Gadar 2's success lies in the enduring love story of Tara and Sakeena, which continues to resonate with audiences, and Ameesha Patel and Anil Sharma's acknowledgment of this fact underscores the film's significance in the hearts of moviegoers.
