made her acting debut with Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. The
film was the biggest hit of the year, and made her a star overnight,
earning her awards for Best Debut at a number of award ceremonies.[4]
She next appeared in the cross-border romance, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,
alongside Sunny Deol. The film went on to become the top grossing film
of the year, as well as the biggest hit of the 21st century, earning RS
973 million In India.[5] Set during the 1947 Indo-Pakistani conflicts,
it featured Patel as Sakina, a Muslim girl who finds refuge in Deol's
house during the riots, and subsequently falls for him. Her performance

successes were followed by a series of films that flopped at the
box-office. In Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar (2002), she played the role of a
