A Quote by Mahima Chaudhry

Ram Gopal Varma had signed me for 'Satya' and two days before the shoot, I was dropped out of the film. He didn't even have the decency to call me or my manager and inform me about the reality. I learnt from the press that he had begun shooting without me.
'Satya' was a groundbreaking film that opened people's eyes. People like Ram Gopal Varma and Shekhar Kapur introduced such films in the industry as never seen before, and it wasn't easy if you went to a producer with an arthouse film back in the '90s. They'd laugh you out of the room.
I knew 'Rakta Charitra' would be a story between two men, Suriya and Vivek Oberoi. I had no problem when Ram Gopal Varma told me that I had only a small role as Suriya's wife who is supportive of his decisions.
Ram Gopal Varma saw my pictures and called me for a meeting. He signed me on to play Vishnu Manchu's wife in one of his movies. He did not give me dialogues, instead he asked, 'What will you do if you were Vishnu's wife and this is the scene?' He explained the scene and I gave my inputs.
My first film was Ram Gopal Varma's 'Company.' I was paid Rs 3 lakhs for it.
The first thing Ravi Babu asked when we met was, did I watch horror movies? I told him it took me years to get over Ram Gopal Varma's 'Raat!'
I loved working with Ram Gopal Varma in 'Bhoot.' Surprisingly, he remembered my earlier performances and narrated them to me frame by frame when we met for the first time.
I've had the privilege to work with fantastic directors - Ram Gopal Varma, Mani Ratnam, Inder Kumar, to name a few.
I got 'Jogger's Park' perhaps because one fellow Bengali Sachin Bhowmick, who's the writer of the movie, recommended my name. Then Ram Gopal Varma was kind enough to offer me a role in 'Bhoot.'
I've worked with the likes of Ram Gopal Varma in 'Rakhta Charitra' and Mani Ratman in 'Raavan' - both these films released in Hindi as well. You need to have something substantial to make a mark in Bollywood and these movies gave me strong characters.
A director like Ram Gopal Varma brings out a different dimension in your performance.
I had sent out 100 audition tapes within 365 days, and then I got the 'Dope' audition. When I sent that out, two days later my manager called me and said they wanted to fly me out to L.A. to audition.
Even bigger directors like Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma have faced flak, that doesn't mean they've shied away from filmmaking.
Conte is the manager who most 'bet' on me without even ever having had me in his team. I feel indebted to him because he's the coach that most trusted in me, most wanted me.
I still can't believe I acted in Ram Gopal Varma's direction.
Ram Gopal Varma cannot have a genre at all. He creates genres.
A girl had bidden me eat and drink and sleep, and had shown me friendship and had laughed at me and had called me a silly little boy. And this wonderful friend had talked to me of the saints and shown me that even when I had outdone myself in absurdity I was not alone.
