Tufts University, Boston, offers Amisha Patel teaching position

Ameesha Patel, a gold medallist in economics from the Tufts University in Boston, has been offered a job as a professor at the university any time she wants.

Ameesha says, "I have been offered the post of a part-time professor at Tufts. I would be required to teach drama and take classes talking about my experiences as an actress. I can take up the post at any time in my life. It can be a six-week summer semester, for three months or an entire year. It's an extremely prestigious post and being an advocate of education, it's something I would love to do it at some point though not right now as it will be difficult for me to take off for a year. Musician Tracy Chapman is one of the Tufts graduates who has also been offered this post."

Being a gold medallist in economics, Ameesha is also a Gold Key member at the varsity. She says, "The Gold Key membership is awarded to any student who tops his/her course and has an outstanding academic record. If you are a Gold Key member you can get invited and accepted to any university to study further. Tufts had asked me to extend my education and get a Masters degree but I came back to India and joined films.

In 2005, Lawrence S Bacow, lawyer, economist, and twelfth president of Tufts awarded the Tufts Alumni Award to Ameesha who graduated in economics from the school in 1997.
Ameesha says, "Apart from celebrities in entertainment, many political ambassadors and Presidents have graduated from Tufts. There are lots of courses in politics and anyone training in politics and wants to enter the White House can do classes. There are many prominent personalities graduating from Tufts every year. I received the Tufts Alumni Award in 2005 and for the award in 2009 held in New York. Tufts has invited me for the ceremony."

Ameesha Patel recently took an eve-teaser to task

Ameesha Patel is not a helpless glam doll. A roadside Romeo learnt this lesson the hard way when he passed a cheeky remark on her. The actress had gone for a walk, and was returning when the eve-teaser made her the target of his remarks.

The actress decided to teach him a lesson he'd not forget. She went home, got her bodyguard and scoured the lanes searching for him and then gave him a earful.

A friend of the actress reveals, "She'd seen this particular guy hanging around her locality many times. He would openly stare and look distastefully at passing women but most of them, including Ameesha ignored him. Usually, the actress carries an umbrella but that day she hadn't. When he saw her he asked loudly, "Madam, aaj chaata nahi laya?" He said this in a crude manner with a lewd grin on his face. And that just ticked off Ameesha."

When contacted, Ameesha confirms, "I didn't want to let him off so easily. I went to the cops, but he ran away from there. So I took my bodyguard and hunted him down. I fired him and warned him never to trouble any of the ladies in the area.

The locality I stay in is very serene and quiet. But there are a bunch of guys who hang around and are a nuisance. After I confronted this guy, word spread and the other hooligans also vanished."

The actress wants her experience to empower other women, "I want every girl to realise that eve-teasing can be dealt with sternly. All you have to do is go to the nearest police station and register a complaint. It's very easy to ignore and turn a blind eye to such incidents. But I hope that after sharing my experience, other girls will also stand up and fight such eve-teasing."

One starry condolence meet and SRK's big bad van

Here’s the family: Late Feroz Khan’s family, son Fardeen and daughter Laila Khan walk out of J W Marriot post the condolence meeting.


Family man: Hrithik Roshan stands out at the venue. Is he waiting for media to click more pictures?


His women: One of Feroz Khan’s women, Celina Jaitley, makes an entry into the venue to show support to the grieving family. She looks much toned down than usual.


Colour me pretty: Ameesha is the only one to appear in more than just white. She does show a lot of disappointment.


Yeh Mannat Nahi Hai: With his big new van blocking most of the entrance, SRK’s Mannat doesn’t look the same anymore. What happened to briefing up security?
