It was Mahima’s best time in bolly when she was at the peak of her career in bollywood. She made her debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Pardes in 1997. Her stars were really looking bright. But it just took one moment & her bollywood career came crashing down. While shooting for her next film, “Dil Kya Karey”, She met with a horrific accident. She was not only broke physically, but she was emotionally broke as well. Recalling the horrific accident, Mahima Chaudhry shared how her life changed, and how she lost hope.
Mahima also recalled how the media started treating her & started passing comments on her.
“When I had the accident, they (the media) came to the sets when nobody was allowed. They took a shot from the far because I still had the scars on my face. And they put a photo on Stardust and wrote, ‘Mahima’s had an accident and we can finally call her scarface.’ It still hurts me (gets teary-eyed). How nasty can you be?”
an emotional Mahima expressed.
WHile the media was always non her, At the same time her co-stars and producers,Ajay Devgan and Kajol became her pillar of support.
“Ajay and Kajol, who were the producers, sought that nobody came to know about it, because at that time, it would have devastated my career,“
she said.
“I thought I would never make a comeback, it would never heal, and I would never look normal. But Ajay was like I get scars like this all the time. I was like he is being nice because he does not want me to lose heart. But, actually, he was right. He was a very generous producer, he looked after everything,”
Mahima shared as she praised Ajay for his support.
When asked about the incident, she said
“A doodhwala truck (milk truck) was coming from the wrong side, we were going roundabout. So, the truck came and smashed my car in the roundabout. The truck came and rammed into me, so the glass came like bullets and splinters into my face all over. The pieces of glass did not hit me anywhere else, I did not break my bones. It was only my face.”
Well we wish Mahima Chaudhry all the best for her future endeavours & meanwhile you can watch her interview from the link mentioned below.
