In a bombshell revelation, actress Mahima Chaudhry, known for her roles in “Pardes” and “Dil Kya Kare,” has addressed the long-standing rumours about her relationship with actor Ajay Devgn. These rumours, which surfaced when Devgn had just married Kajol, caused a stir in Bollywood and left a lasting impact on Chaudhry’s career.
The Origin Of The Scandal
Chaudhry revealed that the rumours were maliciously spread by a director who harboured a grudge against Devgn. This unnamed director, aiming to damage Devgn’s reputation, fabricated a narrative of an affair, causing significant distress for both actors.

The rumours not only affected Chaudhry’s professional standing but also took a toll on her personal life. Facing intense public scrutiny and media judgment despite her denials, Chaudhry found herself embroiled in a controversy that she never deserved.
The Incident That Sparked The Rumors
Adding context to the situation, Chaudhry mentions a car accident she was involved in around the same time. She, still recovering from the physical and emotional trauma with her facial scars still healing, received an assignment for a cameo role alongside Devgn in another film.
Due to her injuries, Chaudhry requested the director to avoid close-up shots. However, the director disregarded her request, repeatedly moving the camera in for close-ups, causing immense discomfort.
Ajay Devgn’s Intervention
Witnessing Chaudhry’s distress, Devgn stepped in to understand the situation. When Chaudhry expressed her unpreparedness for close-ups, Devgn confronted the director, prioritizing her well-being over filming schedules. The director, angered by Devgn’s intervention, retaliated by fabricating the affair rumours.
The Timing Of The Rumors
Chaudhry further clarified, “I remember after that, the director went around telling everyone that Ajay Devgn was in love with me, and there were rumours in publications that I was dating Ajay Devgn. This made me even more uneasy. He had just been married while we were filming Dil Kya Kare, and the film was not even finished when Ajay and Kajol got married.”
