Early life

Bhagyashree in 2012

Bhagyashree hails from the Patwardhan[2] royal Marathi family of Sangli in Maharashtra.[3] Her father, Vijay Singhrao Madhavrao Patwardhan, is the current Raja of Sangli.[4] She is the eldest of three daughters, the other two being Madhuvanti and Purnima.[5] She is married to Himalaya Dasani.

Career

She started her acting career with Kachchi Dhoop – a television serial by Amol Palekar. It was based on Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Her rendezvous with acting happened by chance, when next-door neighbor Amol Palekar, a renowned actor-director, requested her to step in and act in his serial Kacchi Dhoop, as the actress who had been signed on had abandoned the serial abruptly. The serial did well and later on she had roles in Honi Anhoni and Kisse Miya Biwi Ke.

She made her film debut in the 1989 blockbuster film Maine Pyaar Kiya with Salman Khan. This remains her most successful and best known film to date.[6] After marriage, she acted in three films: Peepat's Qaid Main Hai Bulbul, K.C. Bokadia's Tyagi and Mahendra Shah's Paayal, all opposite her husband in 1992. She also acted with Avinash Wadhawan in Ghar Aaya Mera Pardesi (1993). This was her last Hindi film in the 1990s and she went on to appear in a few Tamil and Telugu films. She made her Telugu debut in the film Yuvaratna Rana (1998). She also continued playing leading and episodic roles on television.

She returned to Hindi films in 2001 with Hello Girls. She also acted in the Bhojpuri film Uthaile Ghoonghta Chand Dekhle (2005). She later appeared in the Hindi films Janani (2006), Humko Deewana Kar Gaye (2006) and Red Alert: The War Within (2010). After a gap of several years, she made a comeback to television with Aandhi Jasbaton Ki, where she played a politician. She was also seen in Didi Ka Dulha, a comedy serial on national broadcaster Doordarshan and a telefilm where she plays a blind person. She made her debut in Marathi films with the romantic comedy Zhak Marli Baiko Keli in June 2009. In 2014, she made her comeback to entertainment with the TV serial Laut Aao Trisha aired on Life OK.[7]
