She vowed one and all with her charming portrayal of Suman in the super hit Rajashri film Maine Pyaar Kiya, but went on to quit the film industry and got married at the height of her career.
However, 47-year-old Bhagyashree has no regrets of getting married and choosing family over stardom.
“I was in love and so I got married very early. Love makes you do crazy things. If I had not married then, my life would have been different. But I am not dissatisfied with life, no regrets. I am remembered for just one film but I am not upset because that’s the best work in my life,”she says in an interview to a popular online website.
Twenty-five years after Maine Pyaar Kiya, the gorgeous actress still looks young and defies age in her pictures that she recently posted on her Instagram account. The beautiful mommy of two is currently vacationing in Greece and looks drop dead gorgeous in her holiday pictures.
Bhagyashree has two kids, daughter Avantika who is twenty years old, and son Abhimanyu who just turned 25.
“Twenty-five years later, people still remember me and respect me. I gave up a lot of things when my children were born, as I had to take care of them. My children know what I have given up and they appreciate that. I think I have spent my best times with my children and so I have no regrets,” says an excited mother.

While the actress would certainly be excited to see her son on the silver screen, the actress says that she has always been like any other normal mother in her daily life.
“I have done everything a normal mother would do. I have gone for their karate classes, gymnastics classes, swimming classes, I have massaged them as babies, I have taken them for musicals and we would come back singing loudly in the car, I would take them to Juhu beach and had golas with them…,” she says.

“Today, my children are constantly pushing me to do what they feel is good for me. They are my biggest support system. My grandparents were averse to my career. They told my parents, “Kya zaroorat hai usko actress banne ki?” But acting is not a taboo anymore. I have no issues if she makes that decision. But she hasn’t made up her mind yet,” she said in an interview to the Times of India.
But how does she manage to look so young, despite almost reaching the age of 50 and having two grown up kids.
“The credit goes to peace of mind and happiness. I do what everyone does — exercise, yoga and eating right. I don’t diet, because I am a foodie. I workout only for 45 minutes since I can’t manage beyond that. Though I don’t like fried food, I love chocolate and cheese,” says the pretty actress.
Only if we managed to look like her at that age!
