Amrita Rao attended C.G High School in Mumbai,and later enrolled in Sophia College to pursue a degree in psychology. While studying there, she auditioned for an advertisement for Fairever Face Cream. To her surprise she was selected amongst 60 other contestants. After that, she got many offers and became one of the most sought-after models in India within an year.

Her appearance in Cadbury’s Perk Karwa Chaut ad and the Bru Coffee advertisement helped her receive offers from film directors in Bollywood. As she wanted to complete her education, she refused them. After earning a degree in psychology, she began her profession as an actress, working in films.

Amrita was always fascinated by acting, but never in her wildest dreams had she thought that one day she would pursue it especially because she had no contacts in the film industry at all and she thought it was tough to establish oneself in the film industry. But destiny brought her here.

She made her acting debut with Ab Ke Baras (2002), but gained recognition only after the success of her 2003 film, Ishq Vishk. Success followed for her in 2004 with films like Masti and Main Hoon Na.

The film Vivah proved to be a turning point in her career. It was a universal success and her performance was well appreciated by critics, earning her a Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award.
