Mahima Chaudhry: Shah Rukh Khan Was Nerve-Wracking!
8 Apr
Summary
- Mahima Chaudhry found working with Shah Rukh Khan intimidating.
- Pardes was Mahima Chaudhry's debut film in Bollywood.
- Many cast and crew traveled abroad for the first time during filming.
Mahima Chaudhry has revisited her debut film, Pardes, sharing her initial apprehension about acting opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Khan was already a significant star in Hindi cinema, having delivered hits like Deewana and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge before Pardes. For Chaudhry, a newcomer, this made working with him a "nerve-wracking" experience.
Reflecting on her career launch, Chaudhry expressed profound gratitude for the role. She recalled that international filming locations were less common during that era. The overseas schedule for Pardes in the United States offered many cast and crew members their first international travel experience.
Chaudhry described the shared amazement of the team as they explored America, highlighting a collective thrill in experiencing a new world together. Directed by Subhash Ghai, Pardes marked a notable beginning for Chaudhry in Bollywood.
