Amisha Patel On Peace Mission

MUMBAI: After her much talked about split with her family five years ago, Amisha Patel is on a peace mission these days.

It seems the new man in her life, Kanav Puri, has cast a calming effect on Amisha and may be that was the reason when the actress decided to meet her parents recently after a gap of five years.

Earlier, the actress patched up with her brother Ashmit Patel too. It must be recalled that Amisha had accused her family of misusing her money and the public fight had caught the attention of the media for quite some time. But, it seems the reality has changed now. Amisha is on a peace mission to restore ties with her family these days.

With her bollywood career going nowhere, the idea of restoring family ties is after all her second best option for the moment.
