Chaudhry was a model before she became an actress.
She was overshadowed by Aishwarya Rai in a Pepsi commercial.
Her first breakthrough performance where she won rave
reviews was Pardes (1997) as Ganga,
the love interest of two men, 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
(2000), Dil Kya Kare (1999)). Apart
from her role in Pardes (1997), she
also won acclaims on her role as Kavita, the loving
wife of Ajay Devgan in Dil Kya Kare
(1999). She was nominated in Filmfare Awards for that
role.
