Maine Pyar Kiya actress Bhagyashree, who is set to make her comeback with Thalaivi and Jaan, has made a shocking revelation on a photographer forcing actor Salman Khan to smooch her.

Bhagyashree made her acting debut with director Sooraj Barjatya’s 1989 musical romance film Maine Pyar Kiya, which was a blockbuster at the box office. Her chemistry with Salman Khan was hit the audience. Ever since, their fans have been hoping to watch Salman and Bhagyashree together again.

When asked about it, Bhagyashree told Deccan  Chronicle, “I’m blessed to be a part of a film that people have enjoyed for almost three decades across three generations. It’s a rare occurrence in an artist’s life. And while I would love for something like that to happen, it’d depend on Salman and Sooraj Barjatya ji also.”

Talking about Salman Khan, Bhagyashree made a shocking revelation. She said, “There was a very popular photographer back then, who is no more. He wanted to take some not-so-complimentary photographs of Salman and me some sort of “hot” photographs. So, he took Salman aside and told him, Main jab camera set up karunga (When I set up the camera), you just catch her and smooch her.”

Bhagyashree was shocked at the photographer’s suggestion. She told DC, “All of us were new-comers and this photographer thought he had the liberty to do something like that. Back then, smooching scenes were not prevalent. I don’t think he or Salman knew that I was standing by very close and could hear every word. For a second, I remained shocked.”  

The actress added, “But just then, I heard Salman say, ‘I am not going to do anything of that sort. If you want any pose like that, you need to ask Bhagyashree.’ I really respected Salman’s response, and that’s when I realised I was among safe people.”
