Mahima:
I
Was
Bullied
By
Subhash
Ghai
While
speaking
to
Bollywood
Hungama,
Mahima
revealed,
"I
was
bullied
by
Mr.
Subhash
Ghai.
He
even
took
me
to
the
court
and
wanted
me
to
cancel
my
first
show.
It
was
quite
stressful.
He
sent
a
message
to
all
the
producers
that
nobody
should
work
with
me!
If
you
pick
up
one
of
the
issues
of
Trade
Guide
magazine
in
1998
or
1999,
there
was
an
ad
that
he
had
given
which
stated
that
if
anybody
wanted
to
work
with
me,
that
person
would
have
to
contact
him.
Otherwise,
it
would
be
a
breach
of
contract."
Only
Four
People
From
The
Industry
Stood
By
Mahima
Mahima
further
revealed
that
there
was
no
such
contract
which
said
that
she
had
to
seek
Subhash
Ghai's
permission.
She
also
revealed
that
apart
from
Salman
and
Dutt,
filmmakers
David
Dhawan
and
Rajkumar
Santoshi
stood
by
her.
"They
all
told
me
to
stay
strong.
David
Dhawan
called
and
told
me
that,
‘Don't
worry
and
don't
let
him
bully
you.'
Apart
from
these
four
people,
I
didn't
receive
a
call
from
anyone
else," shared
the
Pardes
actress.
Did
Mahima
Suffer
Because
Of
Subhash
Ghai?
Unfortunately,
yes!
The
actress
further
revealed
that
filmmaker
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
who
had
signed
her
for
Satya,
replaced
her
suddenly
without
any
prior
notice.
The
Dhadkan
actress
revealed
that
she
learnt
from
the
media
that
she
was
replaced
by
Urmila
Matondkar.
Despite
Being
Bullied,
Mahima
Chose
To
Stay
Strong
"I
learnt
from
the
press
that
he
had
begun
shooting
without
me.
I
had
already
given
interviews
stating
that
I
would
be
shooting
for
Satya
in
a
week.
I
and
Ram
Gopal
Varma
had
even
discussed
the
look.
I
am
sure
if
I
was
from
the
industry,
I
wouldn't
have
been
bullied
so
much.
But
you
have
to
stand
up
and
fight,"
added
Mahima.
We
feel
sorry
for
Mahima.
It's
sad
that
the
actress
had
to
go
through
such
difficult
days.
