Actress
Mahima
Chaudhry
has
alleged
that
filmmaker
Subhash
Ghai
used
to
bully
her
when
she
first
came
to
the
industry,
and
that
no
one
apart
from
Salman
Khan
and
Sanjay
Dutt
used
to
back
her.
Mahima
made
these
claims
amidst
the
ongoing
insider-outsider
debate
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
Subhash
Ghai
has
responded
to
these
claims
and
has
stated
that
he
and
Mahima
are
on
good
terms.
He
also
addressed
the
conflict
he
had
with
Mahima
in
1997,
and
clarified
that
they
both
had
sorted
it
out.
"I
am
amused
reading
this
news.
Mahima
&
I
are
very
good
friends
till
date
and
are
still
in
touch
through
messages.
She
is
a
very
nice
and
mature
woman
of
today.
She
recently
shared
on
how
she
gets
welcomed
at
every
event
with
a
song
from
Pardes
'I
love
my
India'
even
after
23
years," responded
Ghai.
Talking
about
the
incident
that
Mahima
opened
up
about
in
her
recent
interview
with
Bollywood
Hungama,
Ghai
said,
"Yes,
there
was
a
small
conflict
in
1997
post
the
release
of
Pardes
,
which
became
a
big
blockbuster
and
for
which
she
even
got
the
Filmfare
award
for
best
actor.
My
company
did
send
her
a
show
cause
notice
for
flouting
a
clause
in
our
agreement."
"Media
and
industry
reacted
in
a
big
way
and
so
I
withdrew
and
canceled
her
contract
with
Mukta
Arts.
After
3
years
she
came
to
me
with
her
family
and
apologized
for
her
impulsive
reaction.
I
forgave
her
and
thereafter
we
became
friends
again.
She
is
jovial
good
person
I
trust.
She
must
be
right
in
feeling
that
she
was
bullied
when
asked
by
someone," he
continued.
"Actually
I
admire
her
great
gesture
when
she
did
a
guest
appearance
in
a
song
in
my
last
film
Kanchi
in
2015," added
Subhash.
I
guess
we
do
get
entertained
with
the
smallest
of
an
old
tiff
which
is
normal
in
course
of
life
in
show
biz.
