	The turning point in Ameeta's career though came when she became the protégé of Filmistan Studios' owner [[Tolaram Jalan]] who produced ''[[Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957 film)\|Tumsa Nahin Dekha]]'' (1957) opposite Shammi kapoor, as a vehicle for promoting Ameeta as a new star. Great care was taken with her make-up, wardrobe and lighting, to present her in the most flattering and advantageous way possible. Furthermore, much of the film's extensive publicity also centred on the actress. The film was a big success but Ameeta's thunder was stolen by the until then struggling [[Shammi Kapoor]].

The film starred a then up-and-coming [[Rajendra Kumar]] and an exceptional music score went on to become one of the top-grossing films of 1959. Here despite a mature and sensitive performance, Ameeta was overlooked and Kumar was given credit for the film's emphatic success.
