If you'll ask Mahima why she has been lying low for a while in the industry, she'll protest and say, " Right from the time I entered the industry I've preferred to keep a low profile. The only time I talk is just before the release of my films, when I'm promoting them. The rest of the time there's really nothing to say!".

She is keeping her cool inspite of the fact that most of her recent films have bombed at the Box office. "True, a hit does make me happy but a flop does not set me brooding. I move on. Honestly, I've always been a very positive person. I don't think I'm drop dead gorgeous nor am I the most talented person around. It's my positive attitude that has worked for me. How else would you explain my success?" she quips.

Mahima insists she doesn't hanker to be numero uno. "I've never been interested in titles and tags. If I had, then I would have been Miss India and Miss Universe. These titles are only temporary. I'm an actress and I want to just concentrate on being a good actress."
