Bhagyashree's MIL recalls being warned against actress as daughter-in-law: 'Do mahine mein talaq ho jayega'
Mumbai, May 29
In the upcoming episode of women focused reality show 'Tum Ho Naa' hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal, actress Bhagyashree's mother-in-law made a shocking revelation over how the society made her worried about getting her son, Himalay married to Bhagyashree who was a Bollywood star back then.
During the episode, Bhagyashree's mother-in-law recalled the criticism and taunts she had to endure during Himalaya and Bhagyashree's wedding.
Speaking about it, she went on to reveal, "Mujhe logo se bada sunna pada, ki ghar mai arahi han star ab kya hoga? 2 mahine baad talak hojayega, kya ghar smbhalegi, aapki toh zindagi gai, bahut kuch sunna pada tha"
(I had to hear a lot from people. They would say, 'A star is coming into your house now, what will happen? The marriage will end in divorce within two months. Will she even be able to manage the household? Your life is ruined now.' I had to face many such taunts)
Curious to know how the family built understanding over time, host Rajeev Khandelwal asked, "Ek dusre ke sath understanding bannane mai samay laga," (Did it take time to build an understanding with each other?)
Replying to this, Bhagyashree's mother in law replied, "Nahi bilkul bhi nahi." (No, not at all)
She went on to praise Bhagyashree for managing both her personal and professional life with ease and dedication. "Woh ghar itna accha manage karti hain, mujhe to kuch dekhna hi nahi padta hain," (She manages the household so well that I hardly have to look after anything)
For the uninitiated, Bhagyashree, on the personal front, belongs to a distinguished royal lineage. She is the great-granddaughter of Chintamanrao Dhundirao Patwardhan, the last ruling Raja of the princely state of Sangli during the British Raj in India.
Bhagyashree, on the professional front made her debut with Sooraj Bharjatya directorial 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' that went on to become a blockbuster hit.
She starred opposite Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

This is such a beautiful story. In India, logon ki sunne ki aadat hai, especially for actresses. Bhagyashree ji proved them all wrong by managing her home and career so well. Salman Khan ka debut movie aur phir shaadi ke baad bhi family handle karna — that's true balancing act!
Honestly, I feel bad for the mother-in-law. Imagine being told your life is ruined because your son is marrying a successful woman. Why do we always assume a working woman can't manage a household? Bhagyashree ji proved that a star daughter-in-law can be a blessing, not a curse. 👏
"Do mahine mein talaq ho jayega" — this is exactly how society talks about any celebrity marriage. But Bhagyashree ji and her family showed what real understanding is. The fact that her mother-in-law now says she doesn't have to look after anything speaks volumes about her dedication. Royal lineage aur modern thinking ka perfect combo!
This is so refreshing to hear! Usually, mother-in-laws are shown as villains in Indian serials, but here she herself clarified that it took no time to build understanding. And Bhagyashree ji's story is inspiring — from being a blockbuster star with Salman Khan to balancing family life perfectly. Kudos to both the ladies for breaking stereotypes! 🙌
Interesting to see how Indian society views celebrity marriages compared to the West. The assumption that an actress can't run a household is quite dated. Glad to see Bhagyashree's mother-in-law standing up and admitting she was wrong. Shows that with love and understanding, these stereotypes can be broken.
The fact that she was from a royal lineage makes this even more interesting. She had everything — fame, family background, beauty — but still people doubted her. This is a lesson for everyone that marriages work on mutual respect, not on society's opinions. Bhagyashree ji set a
