Bhagyshree talks about Salman Khan
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Bhagyashree was asked 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 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.'
The actress further said that Salman would nudge her and start singing to which she wondered why he was acting so funny. After a point, Bhagyashree got nervous and took him to the side. "And I said 'Salman just behave yourself what's wrong with you?"
In response, Salman told her, "I know." She further added that Salman said, "'I know where the Dil Deewana is happening.' "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 added.
