Salman Khan and Bhagyashree's Maine Pyar Kiya is one of the most popular and revered films of all time. It capitulated the actress to the skies of overnight stardom and made the careers of almost everyone involved. Even today, fans revisit this romance and dance to the tunes of its infectious and contagious songs. And talking about the film, Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani has spilled the beans on how she came on board.
In an interview with Bollywood Life, the Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota actor shared a rather intriguing anecdote and said, "Well...now that you mention it (his fondest memory from my mother's films or something that had transpired behind the scenes), there's this one memory I clearly have from Maine Pyar Kiya. Nobody knows this, but Sooraj Barjatya, the Director, had actually pursued my mother for over a month before she had said, 'Yes,' to the film."
