It seems like everyone has forgotten about the Pardes star after she decided to take a break from Bollywood to focus on motherhood.

7 Bollywood directors and their muses

Mahima Chaudhary, born Ritu Chaudhary in Darjeeling, was a VJ on numerous music channels before making her way into the film industry.

She started her career opposite Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan in Pardes, which proved to be a great success. Although Chaudhary was not director Subhash Ghai’s first (or second) choice, she was able to make her Bollywood breakthrough.

Ghai originally had Madhuri Dixit in mind for the village girl role, once she turned it down he offered it to Juhi Chawla but had no luck. However, what was their loss proved to be Chaudary’s gain as the movie did extremely well at the box office. Mahima is still remembered for her role in the iconic movie.

Chaudhary, who celebrated her birthday yesterday, was given the name Mahima by Ghai himself who considered the letter ‘M’ lucky. Nonetheless, while the letter showed its luck for Madhuri Dixit and Manisha Koirala, it didn’t do much  for Mahima.

The Daag actor's latest pictures have left us all stunned because she looks younger than ever. Though she might have filled up a little, she looks fresh and rejuvenated.
