Subhash Ghai reacts to Mahima Chaudhry's bullying allegations

After Mahima Chaudhry went on to claim that filmmaker Subhash Ghai had bullied her and had made her life stressful by sending out a message to all producers that nobody should work with her, now the filmmaker has reacted to the same. In his statement released by his publicist, 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 is a very nice and mature woman of today. She recently shared on how she gets welcomed at every event with a song from 'Pardes', 'I love my India', even after 23 years.' He added that they had a small tiff in 1997 post the release of 'Pardes' and his company did send her a show cause notice for flouting a clause in their agreement. Ghai said, 'Media and industry reacted in a big way and so I withdrew and cancelled her contract with Mukta (Ghai's banner is Mukta Arts). After 3 years she came to me with her family and apologised for her impulsive reaction. I forgave her and thereafter we became friends again.'
