Maine Pyar Kiya remains a timeless classic.

Upon the release of Maine Pyar Kiya, the on-screen chemistry between Bhagyashree and Salman Khan was loved by the audience.

Even after all these years, Maine Pyar Kiya, the film that introduced Bhagyashree and Salman Khan to Bollywood, remains a timeless classic. The on-screen chemistry between them was well received by the audience. However, recently Bhagyashree shared an uncomfortable experience she had with a journalist. The journalist falsely alleged that she had an affair with Salman when they visited her at the hospital after the birth of her child. This created an awkward situation for Bhagyashree and her husband. Married to Himalaya Dasani since 1990, Bhagyashree recently decided to open up about the incident.

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Bhagyashree shared, “I had just given birth to Abhimanyu, and my sister-in-law was outside my room. A press reporter came with a big bouquet and asked to meet me. Of course, he said go inside. She came in, looked at Himalaya, and said, ‘How do you feel about Bhagyashree’s relationship with Salman Khan, and now she has this child?’

After this incident, Bhagyashree decided to stay away from the film industry. Reflecting on his experience, he shared, “Nobody had ever said anything like that to me in my life. Salman was a gentleman throughout the making of Maine Pyar Kiya. There was nothing like this between us, no one had ever talked like this. And it was the day after I gave birth to my baby. I was amazed how badly people can treat each other. This upset me so much, I stopped reading film magazines, I stopped getting film magazines at home and decided to distance myself from the world of films.

Bhagyashree forayed into the film industry with her debut in the movie Maine Pyar Kiya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya. While she has been away from the limelight, Bhagyashree was last seen in a cameo in the Salman Khan-starrer “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.”
