The Story in Brief
Ameesha Patel did not bite when a fan on X compared Preity Zinta’s look in the upcoming film Batwara 1947 to her iconic character Sakina from Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. The fan said Preity was 'copying' Ameesha’s look. Instead of endorsing the jab, Ameesha replied with grace: 'Woh bhi bahut Khoobsurat hai bhai. Sakina wishes her the best.' The exchange has won praise from netizens for Ameesha’s refusal to fuel a rivalry. Both films are set during India’s Partition, but the makers of Batwara 1947 have said their story is distinct from Gadar. Ameesha’s Gadar remains a blockbuster; Gadar 2 also did huge business. Preity’s Batwara 1947 is yet to release.
The Indian Opinion
Some fans are quick to pit actresses against each other, but Ameesha Patel’s gracious response to a comparison between her Sakina and Preity Zinta’s role in Batwara 1947 is a lesson in class. The lazy narrative that one Partition-era film must copy another ignores the distinct storylines each project brings. The real test will be whether audiences appreciate both performances on their own merit when Batwara 1947 releases.
