Says Bhagyashree Dassani in conversation

Bhagyashree Dassani
with TOI.

As an actress Bhagyashree brought a charm and simplicity to the screen that reminded audiences of the yesteryear actresses. She began her acting career with the tele-serial Kachchi Dhoop directed by Amol Palekar. The child actor metamorphosed into the innocent Suman of Maine Pyar Kiya, her first and last Bollywood hit. After a short stint in Bollywood, Bhagyashree did a couple of South Indian films and a Bangladeshi film before taking the plunge into matrimony. Television for this rather conservative actress has been a means of balancing her happy but placid domestic life with her desire to satiate her creative urges. Excerpts from an interview:

Dance with me:
I was always interested in dance and the show Jhalak Dikhla Ja 3 will help me to train myself in the nuances of different forms of dance. It was always my wish to learn the intricacies of various dance styles. So when I got an opportunity like this, I decided to take it up.

Compete and excel:
Though there will be stiff competition in the show I believe that one should always strive to do what one is capable of and shouldn't push oneself beyond that.

Future flight:
I have just finished Red Alert which is based on the Naxalite movement. Moreover I am a firm believer of taking up just one project at a time.

Looking back:
Though it was a conscious decision to be away from Bollywood, I think I really missed out on working with some very creative people. It was my fervent desire to work with Amitji and Aamir Khan because I am a big fan of both of them and secondly I am fascinated by their creativity and body of work.

Bollywood calling:
I am open to acting in films, provided the roles suit my image and persona. But I have drawn a fine line with the kind of scenes and dresses that I would do or wear for a movie. I am not ready to compromise on that issue. While entertaining one must not lose sight of one's culture and people.

Family first:
I am really blessed to have such a supportive and loving family. I used to read in love stories that true love lights up mundane lives but didn't expect that it will become a truth in my life. For all that I have, I thank god immensely.

Hobby ideas:
Travelling, watching films and painting.

Food for thought:
Lip smacking spicy food adds a zing to my taste buds. But in winters I just gorge on a wide array of veggies teamed up with spicy sauces.

De-stress mantra:
I don't allow myself to get overly stressed. I surrender myself completely to god when things are not going my way. This relieves me of the stress.

i really like Gauhar Khan..that girl is gorgeous and i would love to c her in movies..n shez alsoa gr8 dancer..may b in an item number..but bhangeshree has no chances of movies now...thats wat i think...no offence..

Jhalak is a dance show whats looking like a heroine got to do with it..rest is your view which is fair enough. Personally i would like to see her in films but i prefer actors like juhi, madhuri etc to nowadays actors.

^^oh no...u got me wrong..i mean she deserved it coz she didnt dance that well compared to others...as far as my saying that she doesnot look like a heroine is concerned that was only for her joining bollywood...

who is gauhar anyways?? i hope bhagyashree does sign a movie even if its not main lead.

I did not like her so much bcoz i think she was reacting like someone very important in the stage of jalak dikhlaja .... I mean she does not look like an heroine in any angle .... She thinks tooo much for someone like her ... anyways i love juhi and madhuri. By the way Juhi gave a very big compliment in the first show and think she was not diserve for that .. thanx
