She made an impressive debut as an unconventional heroine in Anurag Kashyap\u2019s \u201cDev D\u201d but Mahie Gill believes her decision to do a supporting role in commercial potboiler \u201cDabangg\u201d was a wrong move, writes Komal Panchamatia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Post \u201cDev D\u201d, Mahie featured in \u201cGulaal\u201d and then came \u201cDabangg,\u201d directed by Anurag\u2019s brother Abhinav and starring Salman Khan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter \u2018Dev D,\u2019 I had won a lot of appreciation and awards. People wanted to sign me for films. But I did \u2018Dabangg\u2019 and it backfired big time. The producers started to offer me small roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Mahie told PTI.<\/p>\n

The actor, who played Arbaaz Khan\u2019s love interest in the film, says being a part of a commercial film did not work for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my case, it backfired. My career stopped at that very point. Thanks to Tigmanshu Dhulia for offering me \u2018Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster\u2019 series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mahie revealed that she was reluctant to star in the sequel but agreed after Arbaaz, who directed the second movie, said her character was needed in the story.<\/p>\n

The actor said she has not been approached for the third installment in the franchise.<\/p>\n

She is currently awaiting the release of the third part of \u201cSaheb Biwi Aur Gangster,\u201d that brought her in limelight again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of this series. When we started with the first part, we did not think it will become a hit. The best about this franchise is that it is growing, the characters are the same but the story is in continuity. That is the beauty of this franchise,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In the third part, Mahie\u2019s character of Madhavi Devi has become \u201cmore powerful and wicked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, she has learnt politics. Also, she has all powers as Saheb goes to jail and she has taken over the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanjay Dutt is the new addition to the hit franchise.<\/p>\n

Produced by Rahul Mittra, the film also stars Jimmy Shergill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
