Amrita Rao is an Indian actress who primarily works in Hindi films. Known for her "quintessential girl-next-door" portrayals, Rao is the recipient of several accolades including a IIFA Award and two Stardust Awards, along with nominations for two Filmfare Awards.[4][5]
Rao made her acting debut with Ab Ke Baras (2002), which earned her a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Rao won the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female, for her portrayal of a college student in the romantic drama Ishq Vishk (2003), her first commercial success. She received praise in the commercially successful films - the masala film Main Hoon Na (2004), the romance Vivah (2006), the comedy thriller Masti (2004) and the comedy Welcome to Sajjanpur (2008), winning the Stardust Award for Best Actress for her performance in the lattermost.
Post this success, most of Rao's films turned out to be commercial failures. She then appeared in the National Award-winning film Jolly LLB (2013). Rao has since played supporting parts in the action drama Singh Saab the Great (2013), the political drama Satyagraha (2013) and the biopic Thackeray (2019). Rao appeared as the Judge on the reality show, Perfect Bride in 2009. She made her television debut with Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai (2016), portraying a singer.[6]
