Chaudhry almost declined 2003 film 'Baghban' fearing another cameo
Entertainment
Mahima Chaudhry recently shared that she nearly turned down her role in the 2003 film Baghban.
She worried her part would just be another small cameo, which was common for her at the time.
With Salman Khan and Mahima Chaudhry also playing an extended cameo, she felt unsure about joining the cast.
Chaudhry swayed by Chopras for 'Baghban'
What changed her mind? Chaudhry says it was her respect for director Ravi Chopra and his father BR Chopra.
I had gone to say no to him (Ravi) but ended up saying yes instead, she recalled in an interview.
Looking back, she's glad she did. It's become one of her favorite career choices, as Baghban is still loved by audiences despite some criticism over its themes.
