Bhagyashree tells JYOTHI VENKATESH that she is blessed that she is still remembered as the Maine Pyar Kiya girl, twenty years after the film was released

Do you think your image as the virgin girl of Maine Pyar Kiya has worked as a handicap for your career Why should I feel that my image as the Maine Pyar Kiya girl is a handicap to my career, because of the expectations that the film had created about me? On the contrary, I feel that it is a blessing that I am still being remembered for my performance in Maine Pyar Kiya even after twenty years.

It happened in the first season. An actress (Rati Agnihotri) was the first to be eliminated. This time too an actress was the first to go. Actors, one believes know it all -- have the experience of dancing, facing crowds etc. But that is not true on reality shows. This time on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa – Dancing with the stars Season 3 not one but two actresses Bhagyashree and Shilpa found themselves at the bottom of the heap.
