I guess I didn’t even touch upon the fame and adulation at that point of time. ‘Toh aapne mehsoos nahi kiya? (you didn’t experience the fame?)’ And I said no, I was so involved in Abhimanyu, bringing him up and his school work and everything. In fact, just a week ago, I was telling my children that, when ‘Thalaivii’ released and the kind of messages and the kind of phone calls and the response that I got, it felt like, I’d almost forgotten what it feels like! And, if this is what is happening now after 30 years, when I’m playing a mother, I can’t even imagine what it would be at that point of time just after ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’.

So is there any movie that you regret turning down, some project you wish you had not rejected?Īctually, I can’t even look back and say ‘achaa yeh tha’ because, at that point of time, practically every movie that was made on a grand scale or became a hit was offered to me. What can be better than this?Īfter the success of ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’, you must have been snowed with offers and films. And I’ve got all my fans and all my well wishes out there saying, yes, we want you back.

(laughs). I have two wonderful children who are looking towards their careers now. I didn’t have to regret not being able to get married. And I look at my family life right now, touchwood, I feel lucky. When I look back and look at people of those times, probably contemporary heroines, at that point of time.

So it was all about prioritizing what really matters, staying longer. You had problems managing the family, society, your career, and it was looked down upon if you couldn’t manage it all. Society also has changed now, it wasn’t like that when ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ released. I was all of 19-20 and I thought it would be impossible for me to balance both my career and my home. Well, it’s all about priorities, you know, and at that point of time my family was my priority.

That’s how they changed the sequence." Salman Khan continues to be a reigning star of Hindi cinema.Coming back to the question that everyone wants to know, why did you leave after ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’? Do you regret that decision? So, Sooraj sir came up with an idea of having a glass in between us and the kiss would be showcased through that. She said, "I was about to get married, so I wasn’t so comfortable doing a kissing scene back then.

So, I got worried, and I started crying after hearing that I will have to hug Salman during a song sequence in Maine Pyaar Kiya. © Provided by Indiatimesīhagyashree had once said, "I was just 18 years old and thought I was in love at that time and going to get married, I had never even hugged a guy till then. Since Bhagyashree was about to get married, she was not ready to do the hug scene, but then Salman convinced her and she couldn't say no. Everyone from the industry thought she was the main reason it worked and I was just there". She got married and ran away with the entire credit of the film’s success.
