Actor-filmmaker Amol Palekar was Maine Pyar Kiya actress Bhagyashree 's next-door neighbour who convinced her to act in Kachchi Dhoop, a television show, which turned out to be a successful collaboration.

Bhagyashree ended up replacing the actress who was originally signed but abandoned the project abruptly. Kachchi Dhoop was an adaptation of Louisa Mary Alcott's Little Women.

Bhagyashree got her big break in 1989 with Rajshri Productions' Maine Pyar Kiya, opposite Salman Khan.

Bhagyashree won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her role.

Bhagyashree wed actor-turned-businessman Himalaya Dasani in 1990.

Apart from Bollywood, Bhagyashree has acted in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi and Bhojpuri films.

Bhagyashree has also worked in daily soaps like Alaap.

Bhagyashree and husband Himalaya Dassani have a son Abhimanyu and daughter Avantika.

Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani made his Bollywood debut in the quirky action comedy titled Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota.

He earned accolades for his performance.

Bhagyashree made her Bollywood comeback in 2001 with Hello Girls and went on to act in Janani (2006), Humko Deewana Kar Gaye (2006) and Red Alert: The War Within (2008).
