We had to shoot Dil Deewana, and suddenly Salman came and sat right next to me and started singing the song into my ear. He had always been such a gentleman on set and so nice to me that I couldn’t understand. Well, it just seemed like crossing the line over flirting and I said, ‘Why is he doing this?'”
She recalled how Salman used to follow her and keep singing songs.
"He would follow me around and keep singing the song and I was like ‘What’s happening here?’ He finally took me to the side and said, ‘I know!’ I was like really? He said, ‘I know who you are in love with." Bhagyashree asked Salman about what he knew, the Dabangg star took her then-boyfriend Himalaya’s name.“He said, ‘I know about Himalaya. Why don’t you call him here?’ I was like, ‘Oh my god! This can’t be happening.'”
