She said in an Interview We attended the same school where I served as the class monitor and he was the mischievous child. The rest of the class would have a blast while we would constantly fight! The more we quarreled the more it became obvious that we couldn't be apart. We were like Yin and Yang. 

However we never dated. Before the last day of school he had never even expressed his emotions to me. After saying I have to tell you something he repeatedly tried to say it over the course of a week but kept backing out. Finally I approached him and urged him to simply say it. He then said I'm sure the response will be favorable at which point he admitted he liked me.

She is from a traditional household and when her parents learned about Bhagyashree's romantic relationship they opposed the union. They split up for the benefit of Bhagyashree's family she said in an interview with Humans of Bombay. I come from a pretty traditional family so even after that while we were in college we hardly ever saw each other or spoke on the phone.

She Further added   When I told my parents about him they said that we were too young to make such a decision and I concurred that if he truly loved me we should stay apart for a while so that he could explore and come to the realization that I am the one before we get back together so when he moved away to study in the US we did break up and I then signed Maine Pyar Kiya.

Controversies

Controversy with Maine Pyaar Kiya Producers

Bhagyashree stated in an interview that the producers of the Movie took Bhagashree for granted They didn't even call her at Premiere of the Movie. Once she fainted on the set except for her Husband no one took care of her. With this she wasn’t ready to do a kiss or hug sequence with Co-star Salman Khan. In one of the moments of their movie Maine Pyaar Kiya Bhagyashree recalled how she had begun crying when she realized she had to give Salman Khan a hug. The actress recalled I had never even hugged a boy until I was 18 years old and thought I was in love at the time and going to get married. After learning that I would have to hug Salman during a song sequence in Maine Pyaar Kiya I became anxious and started crying.

When Bhagyashree was questioned about what had persuaded her to participate in the embrace scene in the movie the actress revealed that Salman Khan's soft polite and reliable request had given her the assurance to take part. 'Plz do it ' the actress pleaded. I was unable to refuse which is how I ultimately agreed to perform the hug sequence.

The revelation that caught everyone's attention though was Bhagyashree's admission that she wasn't at ease kissing Salman Khan her co-star on camera. I wasn't as comfortable acting out a kissing scene back then because I was going to get married the actress admitted. Sooraj Sir had the notion to place a glass between us so that the kiss could be seen through it. They altered the sequence in this way.
