Ameesha Patel reveals she also had posters of Tom Cruise in her room.

Ameesha Patel has a crush on Tom Cruise.

Ameesha Patel is a huge admirer of Tom Cruise and she has repeatedly expressed the same in several of her interviews. Recently too, the Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai actress talked about having a forever crush on the Mission Impossible star when she stated that she can even have a one-night stand with him.

Ameesha Patel was talking to Ranveer Allahbadia for his podcast when she said, “I have a crush on Tom Cruise. If you can do a podcast with him, please invite me to it. I’ve loved Tom Cruise since childhood. I had his picture in my pencil box. I had his picture in my files.”

“The only poster I had in my room was of Tom Cruise. He’s my forever crush. I always joke that he’s the only man I can put my principles aside for. I can do anything for him. If you ask if I could have a one-night stand with him, yes, I can,” the actress added.

Why Is Ameesha Patel Still Single?

In the same interview, Ameesha Patel also revealed that even though she has been in serious relationships in the past, she never tied the knot because people eventually wanted her to sit at home and quit acting.

“I never used to chase boys in school; they used to do that. I have got a lot of proposals since then, and they continue to come till now. But a lot of the people I met wanted me to stay at home and not work after marriage, and that didn’t sit right with me. I wanted to become Ameesha Patel first, because I had already spent so much of my life being someone’s daughter, and I didn’t want to spend my adulthood as just someone’s wife,” she said.

However, does this mean that Ameesha Patel is not open to finding love now? Asked about the same, the actress shared that she has a ‘never say never’ attitude.

“I am all up for marriage, as long as I find someone worthy. They say that ‘Where there is a will, there is a way,’ so the person who finds me through everything and mauke par chauka maarlege (takes advantage of the situation) will be my person. I still get all kinds of proposals from a lot of well-to-do families. People half my age want to take me out on a date, and I am open to it because a man has to be mentally mature. I have met a lot of people older than me that have the IQ of a fly,” she shared.
