Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel recently made headlines when she candidly admitted to harboring a longtime crush on Hollywood star Tom Cruise and went so far as to say she’d even consider a one-night stand with him.
Her revelation came during a conversation on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, where she didn’t shy away from expressing her admiration and emotional openness.
Podcast Confession: “Yes, I Could”
On the podcast, when asked about a celebrity crush, Ameesha Patel revealed that Tom Cruise has been special to her “since childhood.” She recalled decorating school supplies and her personal files with his images, and keeping only his poster in her room.
She joked that for him, she might “put aside principles” and “do anything.” On being asked if she could have a one-night stand with Cruise, she replied in the affirmative: “Yes, I could.”
She also expressed a wish to be invited to a podcast with Tom Cruise himself, emphasizing how much the idea appeals to her.
On Marriage & Personal Life
Beyond her crush confession, Ameesha also spoke about her perspective on marriage. She stated she is open to getting married, but only if she finds someone she deems “worthy.” In her words, she believes that “where there is a will, there is a way.” She added that she continues to receive proposals from well-to-do families.
Career Comeback & Recent Work
Ameesha Patel marked her return to the big screen after a five-year hiatus with the 2023 blockbuster Gadar 2, co-starring Sunny Deol and Utkarsh Sharma. The film was a commercial success, raking in about ₹686 crore globally.
Following that, she appeared in Tauba Tera Jalwa (2024), a romantic comedy directed by Akashaditya Lama. While the film received mixed to negative reviews, critics commended Ameesha’s performance.
As of now, the actress has not publicly confirmed her next project.
Reaction & Implications
Ameesha’s remarks have stirred public curiosity and media buzz, especially given the bold nature of her admission. Her willingness to blur the lines between celebrity admiration and romantic fantasy is rare in the typically guarded world of film personalities.
Whether this becomes a media talking point that overshadows her professional milestones remains to be seen. For now, it reinforces her transparent and outspoken persona — ready to share personal thoughts without holding back.
