In a recent interview, Bhagyashree, known for her role in the iconic 1989 film 'Maine Pyar Kiya', discussed the surprising pay structure of the film, where she reportedly earned more than her co-star, Salman Khan. This was notable as it was her first film, while Salman had prior acting experience. Bhagyashree explained that salary decisions in Bollywood are often dictated by market dynamics rather than merit, with producers evaluating actors based on their perceived value and affordability. She highlighted the difficulties actresses face in salary negotiations, as they must often accept lower offers or risk losing roles to others willing to work for less. Bhagyashree believes that achieving pay parity will require collective action from women in the industry to demand fair compensation standards. After her marriage to Himalaya Dasani, she stepped back from mainstream cinema but has made a return in recent years with various projects.
