Amisha is the alone daughter of her father Amit Patel who is a Gujarati-Maharashtrian and her Mother Asha Patel who was a Sindhi. She has a younger brother Ashmit Patel, who is compressing his Acting talent in the Bollywood. Her grandparents, especially her grandfather Barrister Rajni Patel who was the Congress Pradesh Committee President of Mumbai, helped out Amisha in her childhood days. Amisha and her brother Ashmit, both the names are derived in the compound combination of their parents. The first three letters as ‘AMI’ belongs to her father Amit and the last three letters as ‘SHA’ are of her mother's Asha which total represents ‘AMISHA’. Similarly, ASHMIT’s also includes the first three letters of ‘ASH’ is derived from his mother and the last three letters ‘MIT’ belongs to his father.
Amisha's Strength was recognized in her Determination that made her the Head girl of Cathedral High School when she was just in Standard Fourth (IV). After completing her Higher Secondary Education she moved her-self to graduation and went U.S. She had done her graduation from Tufts University, Boston, and U.S. She then hoped for a job and was offered the Chief – Executive Officer in a finance company. Amisha even started teaching Classical dance and kept herself busy in her free times and during week holidays. But the nine to fine job couldn’t hold her for a long time and finally she had to quit from the finance company. She also started placing her hand in modeling career.
Amisha came back to India and joined Satyadev Dubey’s Theatre group and began acting in theaters role. Her family was initially was not ready with her decision as she came from a very high society family and was also academically brilliant. But After explaining them that there is no one say standing before her destiny she was allowed to continue with her modeling and acting career.

Rakesh Roshan, who had already signed this film with Actress Kareena Kapoor and also started the shooting of the film, but this Association didn’t go well. Then Rakesh Roshan then remembered his beautiful school friend’s Amit Patel‘s limped-eyed daughter Amisha whom he met at a Sangeet Celebration Ceremony. Amisha had also remarked her of taking her as a heroine for his film. He then offered Amisha Patel as the heroine of his debut film during a joint family dinner and she failed to refuse the proposal.

This Newcomer pair has shaken the entire Bollywood Industry more than a month and took away the 9 Filmfare Award in the nomination of Best Film of the year. Her next Shocking surprise towards the Bollywood Industry was the Success of Gadar – Ek Prem Katha directed by Anil Sharma.
This movie had made her a Super-Star just over a night.
