Quotes

Mahima Choudhary
  • Dad was never the strict person. Mom was the disciplinarian. When it came to our parents leaving us to school, I always hoped it would be dad and not mom, because mom gave us just that exact amount of money while dad used to willingly throw in an extra note or two in our pockets. Those are the moments I remember dad very very fondly. - Unknown

  • There are so many talented actors today in the industry. There are 40 people who are not working in the top production houses of our country, but that does not mean they are not good actors. I feel if they need me they will call me. So it is better to wait rather than rue. - Unknown

  • On crossover cinema: Everybody's into crossover cinema. The roles that an actress can have are more varied today than ever before. There are so many other languages that one could do a film in. I mean, I'd personally love to do an Indo-American film, which is so much of a trend today with 'Monsoon Wedding' and 'Bend it like Bekham' making it big. I had a script on the lines of a Hindu-Muslim love story from London. But since I didn't have dates at the time, it didn't work out. But I'm keen on - Unknown
