Salman Khan and Bhagyashree bond over historic love story “Maine Pyar Kiya” and disclose interesting secrets during the set

Bhagyshree, who made her big Bollywood debut with ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ with Salman Khan, is still quite loved and popular for her role in the film even today.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actress recently opened up about her bond with the Bollywood superstar. Talking about the time when her friendship with Salman Khan solidified on the sets of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’, the actress narrated an interesting story involving her husband Himalaya Dassani.

She explained how Himalaya ji’s friend, who was also a friend of Salman, was a common connection, and Salman got wind of Himalaya ji’s existence before the information became public. During the one-month shoot for ‘Dil Deewana Bin Sajnaa Ke’ in Ooty, Salman surprised her one day by singing the song in her ear. This happened on the very day when the press was present on the set, making the entire scenario quite unusual as Salman had never displayed such behavior before.

The actress added that Salman would playfully nudge her and break into song, leaving her puzzled about his unusual behavior. Eventually, Bhagyashree grew uneasy and pulled him aside, saying, “Salman, just behave yourself. What’s wrong with you?”

In reply, Salman acknowledged, “I know.” Following that, Bhagyashree recounted how Salman mentioned, “‘I know where the Dil Deewana is happening.'” This statement, she believed, changed their dynamic, making her more comfortable around him. She mentioned that Salman was a constant presence during times of tension or problems at home, and even when they decided to get married – always the first person to be there and the last one to leave.

In the same interview, Bhagyashree shared that she experienced a first during ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ – wearing jeans. However, during the screening, she noticed her father deliberately looking away from the screen, likely due to her unconventional outfit.

Sharing how the latter hilariously teased her over her hushed-about romance, Bhagyashree said:

“Himalaya ji’s friend and Salman’s friend, they were common friends, and Salman came to know about Himalaya ji before the entire world knew. So he was the first person that came to know. And we were shooting for ‘Dil Deewana Bin Sajnaa Ke’ and we were in Ooty for about a month and Salman comes and starts singing ‘Dil Deewana Bin Sajna Ke’ in my ear and that particular day we had press on the set and everything and I’m wondering ‘Salman’s never behaved like this.’ And I said ‘Salman just behave yourself what’s wrong with you?”

Crediting Salman for being there with her and Himalaya up till their wedding, Bhagyashree said:

“I think that suddenly changed the equation because then I got really comfortable with him and whenever there was a tension at home or problem at home or even when we decided to get married, Salman was the first person to be there and was the last person to leave.”

She mentioned that she was shooting for the film after her marriage, and was in fact 5 months pregnant.
