Maine Pyar Kiya famed actress Bhagyashree was recently seen in Thalaivii playing Kangana Ranaut’s onscreen mother Sandhya. On her comeback to the silver screen, Bhagyashree said lots of people have complimented her as she had been away from movies for many years.
“Of course everyone has been saying, ‘oh you look too beautiful to play the mother’, and people often say that you don’t look your age. But I say I am 52, I am a mother of grown up children and have no qualms in playing a mother to the hero or heroine. The only thing is that it should be substantial and should make a difference to the story. That’s the kind of subject I would like to work with,” informed Bhagyashree.
She also adds that Kangana was very nice and respectful towards her on the set. “Whenever we were shooting together, she would make sure that she would come and greet me on the set, and always say goodbye before leaving the set, something that one would expect,” shared the actress.
Her actor-son Abhimanyu Dassani also loved her in the film. On being asked if there is any chance for them to work together, Bhagyashree laughed and said, “Well, maybe sometime in the future it probably will happen. But I wonder who will be more nervous, him or me? I think I will be.”
The actress became a household name after featuring in Maine Pyar Kiya with Salman Khan. When asked if there is a possibility to see her and Salman collaborate again for a film, she said, “Wow, I haven’t met him in the longest time. But listen everyone knows, Salman is working with all the younger heroines. So I don’t know what script will come about for both of us to work together.”
Bhagyashree will be next seen in Radhe Shyam with Prabhas and Pooja Hegde. She also has another film, and a web series in the pipeline.
