HBD Mahima Chaudhry: Throwback to the time when the actress exposed Bollywood Filmmakers, details inside!
Mahima Chaudhry formerly had a large fan base and was a promising actor. After almost 6 years, she will make a comeback to the big screen with movies like The Signature and the Emergency starring Kangana Ranaut. Did you know that the actress has already revealed the shadowy side of Bollywood and how female stars were once treated? For all the information, scroll down.
Mahima made her acting debut in Shah Rukh Khan’s Pardes, as most people are aware (1997). Since then, she has contributed to a number of noteworthy projects, including Dhadkan, Dil Kya Kare, and Dobara. She last appeared in Dark Chocolate in 2016 and has not appeared on television since then.
Mahima Chaudhry in a conversation with Hindustan Times talked about Bollywood now vs then and shared, “I think the industry is getting to a position where female actors are also calling the shots. They get better parts, better pay, and endorsements; they’re at a great and much powerful position. They have a longer shelf life than before.”
Mahima Chaudhry continued, “The minute you started dating someone, people would write you off because they only wanted a virgin who had not kissed. If you were dating someone, it was like, ‘Oh! She’s dating!’. If you were married, then forget it, you career was over, and if you had a child, it was like absolutely over.”
Mahima experienced a rollercoaster of emotions on a personal level after learning that she had cancer at the beginning of the year. Anupam Kher, a seasoned actor, announced the news to the public. The actress received treatment in Mumbai, where she also expressed her sadness at not being hired because she lacked hair.
The next time we see Mahima Chaudhry, it will be in Emergency, where she will be portraying writer and cultural activist Pupul Jayakar.
