Ameesha Patel responded to a social media comparison between her character Sakina from Gadar and Preity Zinta’s role in Batwara 1947. During an #AskAmy session on X, a fan suggested that Zinta’s trailer look copied Sakina’s character. Patel did not endorse the comparison. She praised Zinta and wished her well, while referring to Sunny Deol’s character Tara Singh.
Both Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Batwara 1947 are set during the Partition period, leading viewers to notice similarities. The makers of Batwara 1947 have said it has its own characters, conflicts and storyline. Patel and Deol later reunited in Gadar 2, which was a major box-office success.
Comparing actors before a film’s release can attract attention, but it may reduce different performances to a simple contest. Patel’s response avoided turning the discussion into rivalry and recognised Zinta’s work. Similar settings and costumes do not by themselves prove that one character copies another. Until Batwara 1947 is released and seen in full, firm judgements about the resemblance remain uncertain.
