New Delhi:
Salman Khan and Bhagyashree’s 1989 film Maine Pyar Kiya is all set to re-release in theatres on its 35th anniversary on August 23. Ahead of the iconic film’s theatrical release, Bhagyashree told News18 that she is “thrilled” to see how the film will impact today’s generation. She said, “To think that a whole new generation will experience the magic of Maine Pyar Kiya on screen is just incredible! It’s a timeless love story and to see how it connects with young hearts today is like watching a film come to life all over again. I can’t wait to see how Gen Z responds to the pure, simple romance we have portrayed.”
Recalling the buzz surrounding the film when it was released, she said, “It was life-changing for me in so many ways. Personally, it made me famous, and professionally, it opened doors I never dreamed of. But more importantly, it gave me an emotional connection with audiences that continues to this day. That's rare for an actor, and I feel truly blessed.”
She continued, “I think some stories are timeless and Maine Pyar Kiya is one of them. However, there is something sacred about the original. It represents an era and a kind of love story that is unique to that time. While it would be interesting to see what a modern version would look like, I personally believe that the magic of the original should remain intact. Some classics are best left as they are.”
Maine Pyar Kiya was Bhagyashree's debut film in Bollywood.
