Mumbai : Filmmaker Subhash Ghai responded to Mahima Chaudhry's claims where she said that Subhash Ghai bullied her and he allegedly asked producers to not to work with her.

Ghai said that he was amused by her claims and added that they are still very good friends. The director also did confirmed that there was a small conflict after the release of ‘Pardes’, which was Mahima’s debut film but it was sorted three years later. 

According to Hindustan Times, Subhash Ghai said, "I am amused reading this news. Mahima and I are very good friends till date and are still in touch through messages. She recently shared on how she gets welcomed at every event with a song from Pardes (I love my India) even after 23 years... She is a jovial, good person whom I trust. She must be right in feeling that she was bullied when asked by someone."

Talking about the small conflict, Subhash Ghai said, "Yes, there was a small conflict in 1997 post the release of Pardes. My company did send her a show cause notice for flouting a clause in our agreement. Media and industry reacted in a big way and so I withdrew and cancelled her contract with Mukta Arts. After three years she came to me with her family and apologised for her impulsive reaction. I forgave her and thereafter we became friends again.”

Earlier, in her interview with Bollywood Hungama, Mahima Chaudhry had also said that she lost films because of Subhash Ghai , one of them was filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's Satya. 

"Ghai sent a message to all the producers that nobody should work with me... There was an ad that he had given which stated that if anybody wanted to work with me, that person would have to contact him. Otherwise, it would be a breach of contract. However, there was no such contract which said that I had to seek his permission,” Mahima said in the interview.
