She had narrated a funny incident wherein she had strictly warned her co-star, Salman Khan to maintain distance from her to avoid link-up rumours. She said,
"Salman was the first to know about my relationship with Himalaya during the shoot of the song, Dil Deewana. He would follow me around and hum the song in my ear. I kept warning him that people will start talking about us. After irritating me for half-a-day, he said that he knew about Himalaya. He even suggested that I call Himalaya to the location. They were cordial when they met."

That'd be a really nice feeling."

Bhagyashree had quit acting and had left Bollywood for good at the peak of her career. In an interview, Bhagyashree opened up about leaving Bollywood to raise her kids and her much-awaited comeback. Bhagyashree had accompanied the show with her son, Abhimanyu. On the question of whether leaving movies was a difficult decision for her, she had replied,
“Yes, and no. A tough call because by then I had realised that I do enjoy acting and I was like I wish I had the possibility of managing both. But no, because he just took over my life. My entire focus and happiness were having him with me. At that point, it was not a tough choice. All that I wanted to do was spend time with him."
