Mahima Chaudhary, born on 13 September 1973, is remembered as a very attractive actress of Hindi cinema. Mahima Chaudhary also made his debut in Hindi cinema in a very interesting manner.
Successful director of Hindi cinema Subhash Ghai was making his film “Pardes”. Earlier in 1995, Trimurti was built by Subhash Ghai’s banner Mukta Arts. Subhash Ghai was the producer in Trimurti. The film was directed by Mukul Anand. The film had big names like Anil Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and Jackie Shroff. The film also got good success at the box office on the first day of its release. But the film’s business and reactions did not come positive in the coming days. For this reason, the film did not get the response that Subhash Ghai wanted. The film flopped and people started questioning Subhash Ghai’s career. Keeping all this aside, Subhash Ghai started his new film.
When the story of the film was written, the turn was casting the characters. Subhash Ghai wanted to cast new actors in the film. He was in his mind that new faces were seen in the film. On the contrary, Subhash Ghai’s team believed that only big and established actors in the film should be casting, otherwise the film would not get buyers. While Subhash Ghai’s team insisted on the inclusion of Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan in the film, Subhash Ghai had decided that he would make a film with new faces at any cost. There was a solid reason behind this decision. The reason was that according to the story written by Subhash Ghai, the role of the actress was of innocent, naive girl. Whereas due to Madhuri Dixit’s stardom, it was very difficult to make that naivete and innocence alive on the screen and convince the viewer. So Subhash Ghai had decided that he would give a chance to a new actress instead of a big star. In the film, Ganga will play a new girl. Since Subhash Ghai was the Captain of Ship, he was accepted.
When Subhash Ghai started casting Ganga, many faces came in front of him. But no one saw a glimpse of Ganga. In this connection, Mahima Chaudhary reached the office of Subhash Ghai. Till then Mahima Chaudhary used to do advertising films, modeling etc. When Subhash Ghai and Mahima Chaudhary met, Subhash Ghai did not have much effect in the beginning. Then Mahima Chaudhary was wearing glasses. But after taking off the glasses, when Subhash Ghai interviewed Mahima Chaudhary, Mahima Chaudhary laughed in full swing. The love that Subhash Ghai, which was needed in the role of Ganga, used to spill in the eyes of Mahima Chaudhary. Apart from this, Mahima Chaudhary’s height was small. Seeing Mahima Chaudhary’s laughter, eyes and height, Subhash Ghai decided that only Mahima would play the character of Ganga. In this way, Mahima Chaudhary took the first step in Hindi cinema and was awarded the Filmfare Award for “Best Female Debut” for his first film.
