Ameesha Patel, a well-known Bollywood actress, recently disclosed her family's deep ties with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during an interview with Bollywood Bubble. She revealed that Indira Gandhi was the first person to visit her after her birth at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. Patel's grandfather, Barrister Rajni Patel, was a prominent political figure who served as Gandhi's chief advisor and was instrumental in various political movements. He had a significant influence on Gandhi, often being consulted before major decisions. In a surprising revelation, Ameesha shared that Indira Gandhi fixed the wedding date of her parents based on her own availability, as their horoscopes did not match. This date was set for July 4, and the wedding took place at the Taj Mahal Palace in South Bombay. Additionally, Rajni Patel was responsible for establishing the Nehru Planetarium in Worli, Mumbai, as a tribute to Jawaharlal Nehru. Ameesha reflected on her upbringing in a politically engaged family, surrounded by notable personalities from the arts and politics.
