28 years ago, Sooraj Barjatya’s film Maine Pyar Kiya, starring Salman Khan and Bhagyashree, marked the debut of two fantastic actors in lead roles, and was the top-grossing film that year.
Maine Pyar Kiya gave Salman the golden image of Prem that he further carried in many of Rajshri’s films. The movie also brought to us a lovely looking young girl Suman, played by our very own Bhagyashree.

Salman's performance and chemistry with Bhagyashree in the film Maine Pyar Kiya was superb. The film completes 28 years of its release today; however, Salman's character as Prem, a dedicated lover is still etched in our minds.
