Bhumika Chawla made her Bollywood debut in the 2003 romantic tragedy film Tere Naam in which she was paired opposite Salman Khan. The actress was then seen in a few not-so-successful films such as Run, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa, and Silsiilay among others. She could have had an entirely different journey in the Hindi film industry if she wasn't replaced in a couple of films.
