Mahima Chaudhary stepped into the industry in 1997 from Subhash Ghai’s film Pardes. Due to her acting and innocence, she was covered on the hearts of the audience. The actress also received the Filmfare Best Debut Award for this film. But very few people know that Mahima had to change his name for her debut film.
Actually, the real name of the actress is Ritu Chaudhary. But he had to change the name of Ritu. However, during that time there was no problem in changing the name, but later there was a malaise. Subhash Ghai was looking for a new face for his film Pardes. He auditioned hundreds of girls, but he did not like it.
During a party, he looked at Ritu. He first offered Ritu to the film. However, Subhash Ghai asked him to change his name. He was superstitious that the actresses whose names start with M, the directors of the director are super hit.
Decision was proved right
Prior to the glory, he had given a blockbuster film with Madhuri Dixit and Meenakshi Seshadri. Due to superstition, Subhash Ghai asked Ritu to change his name and keep glory. The actress also accepted the matter due to the hope of success in her first film. His decision proved to be correct during that time.
Pardes was a blockbuster and became a star overnight. In an interview, Mahima talked about changing the name. He said that it was difficult to change the name for his career. The actress said that people were known by the name of Mahima for years. But he later felt that he has more association with Ritu’s name.
