Amit quit his studies after standard 12 to pursue his dream of becoming an actor and shifted to Mumbai.
 

Amit Sadh was in a relationship with his Phoonk 2 co-star Neeru Bajwa and both got engaged after their stint together in the first season of the dance reality show Nach Baliye. Later, in 2010, the couple broke up for reasons unknown.
