Further in this entertainment news, Ameesha Patel talked about receiving blood and hate letters. The actress told Hindustan Times, “There were so many people, fans, who were taking our pictures to temples and churches and marrying the photos. I would get fan mail letters with the photos of me garlanded, with sindoor and the words ‘You belong to me’ written on them,” shares the 49-year-old, adding, “I would also get hate letters with some saying, ‘How can you work with Bobby (Deol) and Sunny (Deol)…you belong to me, Sonia’. There were letters written in blood. It was scary as much as it was flattering.”

Her watchman and security guards would push these people away from her house. Patel stated that it wasn’t the time when actors had huge entourages and there was no social media. The letters and people landing up at her place back then was another level of madness she had to deal with.
