Real name of mahima chaudhary

It was when Subhash Ghai decided to cast Mahima Chaudhary in his movie Pardes starring Shahrukh Khan that he changed her name from Ritu to Mahima.

The change was due to Ghai's belief that the letter 'M' was lucky for his films. In the past Ghai has delivered some excellent flicks starring the then newcomers Manisha Koirala and Madhuri Dixit.
