Bhagyashree sounds entitled to me.
How can she compare herself to cast of Sholay? All actors of Sholay were big stars, established in industry already which is why they got those cars after Sholay smashed all records at box office. Sholay ran for 5 years straight. MPK was an ATBB but did not run for 5 years in theatres and newcomers cannot be given cars etc so soon because they are yet to prove their consistency and bankability as stars.
I never heard of Kajol, SRK, Aamir, Karishma, Salman, Madhuri being rewarded with lavish gifts after success of DDLJ, Raja Hindustani and HAHK nor heard of Sunny and Amisha getting expensive gifts after Gadar smashed records.
It depends on producers and how much he can afford to shell out as gifts for the cast. Otherwise stars usually ger memento or trophies in honour after success of films.
Sippy had no provision for pregnant Jaya Bachchan to get a car to come to sets and locations for shooting of Sholay. Amitabh had to request Dharmendra to allow him to use his car for Jaya and Dharam agreed. So even established stars do not get any special treatment by producers during making of a film. Why did Bhagyashree expect anything special for herself?
And why should producers of MPK give her any gifts during her pregnancy or after birth of her first child or even some wedding gift? Employers are NOT under any obligation to give gifts to employees on personal occasions like birthdays or godh bharai etc or even attend those functions of their employees. Did Bhagyashree invite Rajshri team when she had her baby or at her godh bharai ceremony? Why expect expensive gifts from them?
She sounds damn entitled and immature.
Since MPK was about puppy love, it is no surprise makers wanted to make pairing look fresh, innocent and did not like Himalaya coming to sets or perhaps did not want her and Himalaya's relationship to make headlines in media. Aamir also kept Reena away from sets and limelight before QSQT released, even hid the fact that he was married. Makers did it then to keep perception of actor being young and virginal to make those 'first love in teenage' stories look believable.
I do not think it was wrong of producers to object to Himalaya visiting sets of film. When you are under contract then you should honour it.
I guess it is due to behaviour of newbies like Bhagyashree and their possessive BFs/in-laws/husbands to be hanging around sets, due to which industry avoids hiring married or soon to be married women to star in films.
Bhagyashree ruined her career herself due to such nakhre, marrying so soon and insisting that only her husband be cast alongside her in every film. Nobody would agree to such demands and combo deals.
Combo deals would not be accepted for even top stars. Imagine if Ajay and Kajol, Amitabh and Jaya, Ranveer and Deepika, Abhishek and Aishwarya, Saif and Kareena always insisted to be cast opposite each other in all films. Even their demand would not be accepted as casting is done as per suitability for role.
So why did Bhagyashree insist to do films only with husband later?
Newcomers are a risk for producers, financiers anyway. Bhagyashree should be grateful to be cast in MPK and have producers of Rajshri calibre have faith in her when they could have chosen any top actress or bankable starlet of that time.
I do not think she had any real or valid grievances in this interview. It sounds more like entitled brat ranting.
No wonder Bhagyashree did not make it in films or even TV. Her attempts at comeback have usually failed, perhaps due to attitude.
