Mahima Chowdhury hasn`t been in news off late. With no films to offer at the box office, it sure appears to be a case of "out of sight; out of mind."But with Anupam Kher`s directorial debut Om Jai Jagdish, she`s once again appeared on the block. The scribes wrote her off after the release of Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar - saying she looks old and blah blah.

But Mahima is undeterred by all criticism and shows no intentions of leaving the industry; not in the near future at least. On the contrary, she is more confident and why shouldn`t she be? Rumour has it that her brother, who studied direction in New York, will soon start producing his own film and no prizes for guessing who gets to hog the limelight. Besides. her sister Akansha is also making her directorial debut.

Looking at how things are shaping up, one thing is quite apparent, lady luck is sure smiling at Mahima as she need not work on getting roles - there will be quite a handful what with two film- makers in the family. Here`s to the family.
