Gadar 2 trailer launch: “Anil Sharma mujhe naaraaz karte rehte hai aur main inse fight karti rehti hoon. I BLOCK him on Instagram and WhatsApp” – Ameesha Patel

Ameesha Patel is back on the big screen with  Gadar 2 , the much-awaited film, which releases on August 11.

Yesterday, that is, on July 25, the invite for the trailer launch of  Gadar 2  was sent in which Ameesha Patel’s name was absent from the list of attendees. It raised eyebrows and gave rise to speculations that she is being kept away from the event.

As a result, no one got a chance to ask Ameesha Patel about the allegations. However, Ameesha Patel did open up a bit about her love-hate bond with Anil Sharma at the trailer launch. She began by cutely gesturing how Anil Sharma rubs both his hands while speaking to her. She said, “Anil ji  bina saabun haath dhote rehte hai . I’ll show you.
