If Mahima Chaudary was a Star-Daughter..

So Mahima had a dream launch and won filmfare best debut over the likes of rani and Aish but totally went from that to C grade movies and eventually disappearing without a trace

If she were a star-kid, she wouldn't have fizzled out like Tushar, Esha, Uday coz unlike them, she actually could act. It's not easy for an outsider despite of having a successful 1st film. They still have to keep struggling movie after movie. 1 average or below average movie and their entire career could be jeopardized but 1 success doesn't mean they're safe either.

Mahima was fab. I was a fan.

That's what some people do not get...Just pedigree doesn't guarantee stardom but it certainly GUARANTEES sustainance...Imagine if Abhishek B or Tusshar K were outsiders...

They would have been flipping burgers in some shady joint ..Not NOW but 15 years back!!!

Abhishek B still green lights high profile movies

Yes Mahima was a stunner but she did make some terrible choices such as playing a sidekick in probably the second worst movie of all times 'Dhadkan'...That one move killed her career!

It wouldn't make any difference if she was an outsider or starkid. There's a reason why her career went downhill due to her fallout with Subhash Ghai. She signed a five year contract but both had some disagreement hence the contract with Murka Arts was withdrawn. Hadn't this whole thing not happened then she may have been successful.

She was very pretty and had gorgeous eyes. As far as her acting goes, she only gave a few good performances like Pardes, Daag: The Fire, Yeh Tera Ghar Mera Ghar, Lajja and ect. Rest like Dil Kya Kare, Khiladi 420 and so and so is where she overreacted.

Not to take anything away from her, she was a good actress but not great. She choose to star in mindless films like Zameer: Fire Within, Home Delivery and many other craps post 2003.

Nepotism has nothing to with downfall of the likes of Mahima and many others outsider. People like Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka, Urmila, Manisha and ect made thus far and established themselves respectively.

Three reasons to the downfall of Mahima's career .

1. Fallout with Subhash Ghai
2. Poor choices of films
3. Wasn't focusing much on career because she was too busy dating that Tenis Player. Then later choose settle down and get married to somebody else.

Unlike many star kids - who keep giving flops after flops - a string of flops and then sizzle out. Outsiders don't have that benefit. 1 wrong choice could literally mean game over for them.

I always hear these same stuff about many chances these starkids get but nothing guarantees success no matter how many opportunities are given. In the 90s, Mahima got so many chances but in between those lines, she had fall out with fallout with Subhash Ghai hence her contract being withdrawn. Poor choices of films were part of the downfall of her career.

Amisha Patel was an outsider who was given several chances despite of her bad acting. Again poor choices of films barring Gadar, Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Humraaz and so and so.

I used to love her too! Loved her in Aksar iss duniya mein! Her career was very similar to her state in that song, always 2nd fiddle.

Mahima was nothing special and she debuted when she was 24 years old. And that too in the 90s. Where does that leave her in terms of a career? 6 years? She had a string of flop films and thus her career ended. Plus her constant controversies didn't help her career either.
