Why did SLB ask Ameesha to retire?

Yes, you read that right. The Kaho Na Pyar Hai actress revealed that SLB asked her to retire after Gadar as he thought she had already done what others couldn't achieve in their entire careers. "Ameesha, you should retire now," she recalled the Padmaavat director telling her. When she asked the reason behind the same, he said, "Because you've already achieved in two films what most people don't achieve in their entire career."
