Bhagyashree, best known for her role in Maine Pyar Kiya, shocked many when she revealed that only two people attended her wedding. Even her parents stayed away due to disapproval of her relationship. Here’s the emotional story behind her secret marriage.
A Rising Star’s Sudden Decision
In 1989, Bhagyashree became an overnight sensation with Maine Pyar Kiya, winning the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. At the peak of her stardom, she made an unexpected move—she got married at just 19 years old.
Love That Started in School
Bhagyashree fell in love with her schoolmate, Himalaya Dasani. Despite their strong bond, her parents strongly opposed the relationship. In an interview, she shared that their love had ups and downs, but they couldn’t live without each other.
> “If you really love someone, set them free. If they return, they’re truly yours,” she quoted.
Eventually, she reunited with Himalaya and decided to marry him—no matter what.
Family Fallout and a Lonely Wedding
Due to the tension with her family, Bhagyashree’s parents refused to attend her wedding. In fact, they had stopped talking to her altogether. The wedding ceremony was an intimate affair with only two guests from her side: Salman Khan and director Sooraj Barjatya.
Understanding Her Parents’ Concerns
Looking back, Bhagyashree said she now understands her parents’ hesitation. She admitted that they were right in thinking she was too young. However, she added that things improved after the birth of her son, Abhimanyu.
Leaving Stardom for Family
Following her wedding, Bhagyashree stepped away from films to focus on her family. Though her debut was a massive hit, she appeared in only a few films during the next few years. She made a comeback in the 2000s but couldn’t recreate her early success.
A Comeback with New Roles
In recent years, Bhagyashree has acted in several films including Thalaivii, Radhe Shyam, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and Sajni Shinde Ka Viral Video. She is currently working on Raja Shivaji with Riteish Deshmukh.
Bhagyashree’s wedding story is a tale of young love, courage, and sacrifice. Despite initial setbacks, she found balance between family and career. Today, she continues to shine in the film industry while standing proud of her personal choices.
