Mahima Chaudhry’s journey from fading fame to unyielding courage

Ritu Chaudhry, who later became known as Mahima, attained her stage name when she joined Bollywood in accordance with Subhash Ghai's request. Ghai has a practice of launching every new leading lady with a name that begins with the letter "M," and he advised Mahima to fit in that tradition, which stuck in Mahima's film career. Before becoming a film actress, Mahima was a well-known model who appeared in commercials and entered a few beauty pageants; the Miss India competition was the most notable one. Mahima became famous in India when she appeared in a Pepsi commercial with Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai, who were also two moving figures in commercials.
