Why couldn't Mahima Chaudhry make it big after Pardes?- Page 4

Didn't Subhash Ghai want her to legally change her name 😆 😆

Mahima is not her real name...Original name is Ritu

I did not like her in Pardes at all. I found her to be too screechy.

I absolutely loved her in Dil Hai Tumhara as well. ❤️

She was such a darling sister and I loved her chemistry with Preity.

That scene Mahima and Preity have in their room, after Rekha tells Preity that she's an illegitimate child, I had tears the way she consoled Preity's character.

Damn now I feel bad that Mahima could not make it. She was also brilliant in Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar with Sunil. 😊

The only thing I found extremely weird about the movie was Kajol having sex with Ajay on the train right immediately after she's attempted with gang rape. It was so bizarre. But otherwise the movie was sensitive.

I agree so much with the discussion in this thread. Dil kya kare was a good film all around and yes I loved Mahima's acting and her role much more than Kajol. I guess the movie intended for Kajol to be the main heroine because of obviously being the bigger star but Mahima actually ended up overshadowing her and being liked more. I even loved her chemistry with Ajay. For me Kajol's role was a bit weird and she even seemed out of place.

Regarding Mahima's career I wonder why because she was a decent actress and look wise too she was fine. Maybe it's due to the wrong choices she made selecting the projects. She was also seriously involved with Leander Paes and probably ended up giving her relationship priority over career.
I miss her.

Then you have her dating men like that tennis player and went off with another guy whom she married. Now she's retired from the film industry.
