Speaking about the frenzy she managed to create post, Maine Pyar Kiya, Bhagyashree admitted about all the madness surrounding her is indeed true. “Yes, that’s true. I hadn’t expected so humongous and it hit me really late. When the postman used to come with sacks of letters during Diwali or birthdays when the entire building’s staircase would be lined by flowers. People have written letters in blood, which was shocking. For a 19-year-old, it was all too overwhelming. There are people who cannot handle success and there are people who run away from it. (Laughs) I kept feeling: I don’t know how to do this. I was very unprepared for something like this. At that time, I also wasn’t a confident woman. I was still grappling with my own insecurities: I kept asking myself if this was all for real. It was more questioning myself at that point. There was a lot of self doubt. That time, the only thing I wanted was a fairy tale life – a family with a house and have my kids.”
She further went on to reveal that she rejected every big film that was offered to her by Yash Chopra, She has been quoted as saying, “I actually refused most of the big films of that time. Every time I would meet Prakash uncle or Yashji (Chopra), they would fire me in front of everyone standing in front of us. Even very recently, a few years ago, when I even walked up to Yash uncle and introduced Abhimanyu to him, he told my son, “Yeh tumhari maa hai na, woh industry ki sab se stupid girl thi’. He really wanted to work me and I would always say no. After Maine Pyaar Kiya, every big film was offered to me, especially the ones these directors have done. ” She told Pinkvilla.
She further went to state point-blank, “The reason for me saying goodbye to films was my kids and I wanted to be a part of every milestone and moment in their lives while growing up. They have both grown up now and in fact, they are the ones pushing me to do it. Both the kids were after me for years now and they almost literally were about to say: Jaa Simraan, jee le apni zindagi (laughs). Thanks to their emotional backing, I took these up and decided to get back to films again. So, let’s hope this works out well. ” The actor revelled that she won’t be taking any breaks anymore.
