Ameesha Patel has recently confessed her long-standing admiration for Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, even going so far as to say she would be open to a one-night stand with him. The actress, known for films like "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha," made the candid revelation on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast.

During the podcast, Ameesha was asked about her celebrity crush, and she didn't hesitate to name Tom Cruise. She admitted to having a crush on him since childhood, reminiscing about having his pictures on her pencil box and files, and a poster of him in her room. "He has always been my crush," she said. "I always joke that he's the only man for whom I could put aside my principles. I could do anything for him".

Ameesha then boldly stated, "If you ask me whether I could have a one-night stand with him, yes, I could". This isn't the first time Ameesha has publicly expressed her admiration for Cruise. Years ago, at a red carpet event, when asked which actor she would switch places with, she said she would choose any actress who had starred opposite the "Top Gun" star. She even joked that she would marry him if given the chance.

Ameesha, who is currently 50 years old and unmarried, has generally kept her personal life private. However, on the podcast, she also opened up about her first serious relationship before entering the film industry. She revealed that she chose her career over love, as her partner at the time didn't want her to be in the public eye. Despite this, she mentioned she is open to marriage as long as she finds someone worthy.

Ameesha made her Bollywood debut with "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" and achieved overnight stardom. She went on to star in films like "Badri" and "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha". Her open and candid discussion about her feelings for Tom Cruise has garnered significant attention, with many reacting to her willingness to "put aside her principles" for the Hollywood star.
