Mahima Chaudhry Recalls Being Thrown Out Of Films After Debut Film

During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Mahima revealed that contractual confusion led to severe professional consequences. She said, "A lot of them. After my first film, I was taken to court, I was thrown out of so many films, because it was said that she is under contract with Mukta, which wasn’t true. I had my accident, then I sat at home for a year." Mahima further shared that when she returned to films, she was often offered minor appearances rather than full-fledged roles. The actress added, "I started doing bit appearances, all those films became a hit…even when I was doing just a song. People then started offering me just a single song, I said no to them. I was called the lucky mascot but I want to do more things."

When Mahima Met With Terrible Accident

The actress met with a serious car accident that left her face severely injured during the shooting of Dil Kya Kare. "There were 67 tiny glass pieces, then they are scraped out under the microscope. The next day, the face is more swollen and out of shape. My friends were laughing at my facial injury, they thought I had a fight with someone and I am lying. At that time, I didn’t know what I was going to do in life, it was difficult. I couldn’t go out in sunlight, you have to wait for the stitches, then they heal so you have to keep it moist." On the work front, Mahima is currently promoting her upcoming romantic comedy Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi, in which she stars opposite Sanjay Mishra. The film is slated for a theatrical release on December 19.
