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.

“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,” said Mahie. For Dev.D, the actress won Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress. Mahie played the role of Arbaaz Khan’s onscreen love interest in Dabangg.
“In my case, it backfired. My career stopped at that very point. Thanks to Tigmanshu Dhulia for offering me ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’ series.”
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.
