The actress who is still remembered for her portrayal in Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Vivah’, recently opened up about the experience of shooting the film and how it left an impact on her personal life.

Recalling the time of ‘Vivah’ release, Amrita in a conversation with Rajshri Productions said that the response to the film was overwhelming and magical. Her role in the film became so famous that post the release of the film on the silver screen, Amrita started receiving matrimonial proposals from Canada and the US.
