Mahima Chaudhry was a model before she became an actress. She was overshadowed
by Aishwarya Rai in a Pepsi commercial.Her first breakthrough performance where
she won rave reviews was Pardes (1997) as Ganga, the love interest of two men,
Shahrukh Khan and Apoorva Agnihotri. She was chosen to be the female lead among
3000 applicants who auditioned for Pardes (1997).
Her career was launched by Subhash Ghai who launched the career of Madhuri
Dixit and Manisha Koirala. She changed her name from "Ritu Chaudhary" to
"Mahima Chaudhary" since Subhash Ghai has a superstitious belief of
launching big careers with actresses whose name start with M. She won rave
review for her first performance in Pardes (1997) as a village girl who
still values her cultures.
Unlike most top actresses in India, she didn't mind playing second fiddle in
films (example: Dhadkan (2000), Dil Kya Kare (1999)). Apart from her role in
Pardes (1997), she also won acclaims on her role as Kavita, the loving wife
of Ajay Devgan in Dil Kya Kare (1999). She was nominated in Filmfare Awards
for that role.
