Speaking to Deccan Chronicle recently, Bhagyashree spilled the beans about the film and working with Salman Khan. She revealed, "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.'"

She further went onto say, "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, 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 realized I was among safe people."

After Maine Pyar Kiya, Bhagyashree left the industry until a few years ago she made her comeback. Speaking of a possible sequel, the actress said that some films should remain cult films and one should not touch them. She said that she was privileged to work with Sooraj Barjatya.
