Mahie Gill: “Dabangg” movie almost ended my career

Adarsh Rout:Actress Mahie Gill, who left a mark with her debut as an unconventional heroine in Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D, believes that her decision of taking up supporting roles in commercial potboilers like Dabangg was a wrong move. Post Dev D, Mahie featured in Gulaal, followed by Dabangg.

The Salman Khan starrer film was directed by Anurag’s brother Abhinav. Mahie who in the film, essayed the role of Arbaaz Khan’s love interest, said that being a part of the commercial film did not work for her.

“After Dev D, I had won a lot of appreciation and awards. People wanted to sign me for films. But I did Dabangg and it backfired big time. The producers started to offer me small roles. I felt very bad but I did not know what was happening. I believe in destiny a lot, I think this was meant to happen. I did regret doing the role, but now I do not,” the actress told PTI.
