Mumbai, Aug 14, 2020: The recent revelation of Mahima Chaudhry about being bullied by her first director Subhash Ghai after the release of Pardes, had left everyone baffled. For the unversed, in 1997, Mahima Chaudhry made her grand Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan with Subhash Ghai’s Pardes. With the film being a super hit, Mahima became the talk of the town, but owing to her fallout with Subhash Ghai, Mahima lost out on projects like Satya, which is considered as a cult-classic movie even today.

After Mahima’s recent statements, director Subhash Ghai shared his stand, and said that he is amused by Mahima’s revelation.

While nobody knows what exactly had happened between them, we dug up an old interview of Subhash Ghai, wherein the director had went on record saying that Mahima was cut up with him because of Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan). Surprised? So are we!

Subhash Ghai’s Old Interview On His Fallout With Mahima

While speaking to Saibal Chatterjee in 1998, when Subhash Ghai was asked why he opted Aishwarya Rai for Taal, he had said, "Four others were considered- Manisha Koirala, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena and Mahima. I chose Aishwarya because she fits the role like a glove. That’s the reason why Mahima is cut up with me."

Yes, you read it right! Subhash Ghai had said that Mahima was upset with him because he had roped in Aishwarya for Taal.
