The memory she shared about Amitabh Bachchan stood out. She wrote: “Mr Bachchan came out of the screening of ‘Vivah’ in the Rajshri office. As he praised my work he reminded me that we were a part of this film Deewar but we did not have any working scene together. Cut To: a few years later In Satyagraha I played his daughter-in-law and guess what ALL our scenes were together from the start to end. Glorious memories.”

‘Deewar: Let’s Bring Our Heroes Home’ released in 2004. It was directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Gaurang Doshi. The film had an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and Amrita Rao.
The story revolved around a mission to rescue Indian prisoners of war held in Pakistan. It blended patriotism, action, and emotion and gave Amrita an early opportunity to share a film with one of Hindi cinema’s biggest names.
But as she recalled, despite being in the same film, she and Amitabh Bachchan did not have a single scene together.
