Ameesha at Somi's Glowz Spa Launch Event in Kolkata

Bollywood actress Amisha Patel, who is a football fan, is upset as she will not be part of history watching soccer star Lionel Messi along with his national teammates in a friendly match in the city Sep 2.

"I am so sad that I wouldn't be able to watch the match because of my prior commitments. Had the match been in Mumbai you could have found me in the stadium cheering like any other fan. I am a big fan of this lovely sport," said Amisha, who was here for the launch of Somi's Glowz Spa in South Kolkata's new Alipore area.

Argentina will take on Venezuela at the Salt Lake stadium here Sep 2 in the first ever FIFA official friendly international match in India. Argentina will also play Nigeria Sep 6 in Dhaka.

About the city, Amisha said: "I love this city, it's so vibrant and always on the move. People here are so loving and caring. But traffic here is just impossible. I thought only Mumbai traffic was bad but here it is worse."

The actress also said she loves to gorge on 'misti doi' and 'rossogolla' and this time too she has had a generous amount of the Bengali delicacies.

With Durga Puja round the corner, will she be here to grace the occasion?

"I would love to… I have heard so much about the Puja. It's the biggest festival here. It coincides with the Navratri celebrated in Maharastra with equal pomp."

Amisha salutes Anna

Bollywood starlet Amisha Patel has saluted activist Anna Hazare for his fight against corruption and hoped his efforts would yield the desired results.

"Whatever he is doing is great. I salute him for that. I sincerely hope and wish that all his fasting and protesting does yield the desired results," said Amisha on Tuesday.

Hazare's fast at New Delhi's Ramlila Maidan for a stringent anti-corruption law entered its eighth day on Tuesday.

Amisha, 36, who was here to launch a spa, scotched speculation that she was planning to foray into the small screen.

"Yes, I accept that the small screen is now no more small. Big and established stars are all joining the bandwagon. But for me it's a no. I have not been approached for any television programme as I am busy with my upcoming Bollywood projects," said she.

Amisha, who has shared screen space with major heroes like Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan, is yet to establish herself in the industry in spite of being part of two record breaking movies, ‘Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai’ and ‘Gadar-Ek Prem Katha" with Sunny Deol.

After her brother Asmit featured in the reality TV show ‘Bigg Boss’, there has been speculation of producers approaching her. "Yes, there are such rumors but let me make it very clear, I have not been approached for any TV show whatsoever."

About her upcoming projects, Amisha said: "There are four movies in the pipeline. One is directed by Priyadarshan and produced by my production house, then there is 'Race 2' by director-duo Abbas-Mustan, another directed by David Dhawan and one more yet undecided."
