Happy Birthday, Mahima Chaudhry: Did you know the Pardes girl had acted with Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai before Shah Rukh Khan?

Though Mahima Chaudhry's big-screen launch was opposite none other than Shah Rukh Khan in Pardes, a film directed by Subhash Ghai no less, not many are aware that she had already acted with both Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai in the same project two years before

Mahima Chaudhry turns 47 years old today. The lady had debuted with a bang in Subhash Ghai's Pardes opposite none other than Shah Rukh Khan, going on to collect several debutante awards the next year. Honestly, nobody could have dreamed of a better big-screen launch. However, what we're going to reveal now will blow your mind. Did you know that Mahima Chaudhry had acted with both Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai, and that, too, in the same project, two years prior to sharing screen space with SRK? Then how come Pardes is considered as her debut film? Well, that's because the project we're talking about was a Pepsi ad, but, nevertheless, remains one of the best ads of the 90s or any decades for that matter. Check it out in the video above. Oh...and a very happy birthday to you, Mahima.
