Mahima Chaudhry, a talented actress who initially gained recognition as a model for Pepsi, where she was momentarily overshadowed by the renowned Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
It was Subhash Ghai, a renowned filmmaker, who played a pivotal role in launching Mahima's career, much like he had done for other notable actresses such as Madhuri Dixit, Meenakshi Seshadri, and Manisha Koirala.
Interestingly, Subhash Ghai was superstitious about being successful with actresses whose names began with the letter M. As a result, Mahima decided to change her screen name to Mahima, marking a significant milestone in her journey as a Bollywood actress.
