BIOGRAPHY:Mahima Choudhry was Born on 13th September 1973 at Delhi. Her real name is Ritu Choudhry. Mahima Chaudhry was a model before she became an actress. She was overshadowed by Aishwarya Rai in a Pepsi commercial.
Her first breakthrough performance was Pardes (1997) opposite by Shahrukh Khan and Apoorva Agnihotri. She was chosen to be the female lead among 3000 applicants who auditioned for Pardes (1997). Her career was launched by Subhash Ghai who launched the career of Madhuri Dixit and Manisha Koirala. She changed her name from "Ritu Chaudhary" to "Mahima Chaudhary" since Subhash Ghai has a superstitious belief of launching big careers with actresses whose name start with M. She won rave review for her first performance in Pardes (1997) as a village girl who still values her cultures.
Unlike most top actresses in India, she didn't mind playing second fiddle in films (example: Dhadkan, Dil Kya Kare. Apart from her role in Pardes, she also won acclaims on her role as Kavita, the loving wife of Ajay Devgan in "Dil Kya Kare". She was nominated in Filmfare Awards for that role.
