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

She lacked looks and talent, plus she refused to compromise, she even called out subhash ghai for sexual harassment, if I am not wrong! Edited by Bollywoodlaver - 5 years ago

She started doing supporting actress roles which was the worst decision she could have ever made.

She played second fiddle in many movies like Dil Kya Kare, Dhadkan etc. 

Also later in her career she went to the skin show route which was the last nail in the coffin.

But I must say I actually liked her more in Dil Kya Kare than Kajol she could have made it had she made the right choices. 

Also she doesn't even come close to Madhuri's beauty so I don't get the comparison.

How did she played the second fiddle in Dil Kya Kare? Ajay Devgan ended up with her and they got the child custody. Kajol left Ajay and the child for her. Ajay and Kajol worked on this movie after they got married and the movie was produced by Ajay's parents. Don't know why they made Ajay and Mahima play husband wife and Kajol as an outsider.

Coming to the topic. I think pig Shubhash Ghai destroyed her career and if I am not wrong she dated some tennis player Leander Paes. That probably affected her career.

Honestly speaking, Mahima did have a bigger role than Kajol, and she stood out a lot more too, I wouldn't call it second fiddle!

Mahima stood out more no doubt about it.

But as I said it's more about the impact the character has on a script level. 

For example even Rekha had a shorter role compared to Jaya in Silsila but for me Silsila would always be Rekha-Amitabh film with Jaya and Sanjeev playing the supporting characters.

I guess it is a matter of perspective, I always felt that DIL KYA KARE belonged to Mahima, role wise and acting wise.
