For someone who played the quintessential romantic heroine in Maine Pyar Kiya , it might come as a surprise that actress Bhagyashree was never actually proposed to—until now. Thirty-five years after tying the knot, her husband Himalay Dassani finally made the grand gesture, much to the delight of fans and romantics actress, now 55, took to Instagram to share the emotional moment when her husband surprised her mid-photoshoot by walking in with music playing and dropping to one knee. 'Hubby decided to finally go on his knees,' Bhagyashree captioned the dreamy photos, revealing that while Himalay Dassani had always been her partner in life, he hadn't ever popped the question—until that by celebrity photographer Prashant Samtani , the moment was made all the more memorable with a heartfelt background track—'Kabhi Usey Noor Noor Kehta Hoon.' With a wink of humour, Bhagyashree joked, 'Diljit would have cried to hear this version tho!' The actress admitted she had often teased her husband over the years about never formally proposing, a void he clearly decided to fill in a touching caption, she wrote: 'Secret let out… No matter what everyone feels about Himalayji being a romantic husband… he wasn't so earlier and I kept telling him that he never really had proposed to me.'Bhagyashree married Himalay in 1989, shortly after achieving fame through her debut opposite Salman Khan. While her public life quieted after marriage, her private life has been one of resilience and family focus. Their son, Abhimanyu Dassani, won a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, and daughter Avantika has made her own mark in the digital space with the web series an age of fleeting romances and Insta-perfect relationships, Bhagyashree and Himalay Dassani's story stands as a reminder that love isn't always loud—it can be patient, enduring, and full of surprises, even 35 years in. Sometimes, the most meaningful proposals aren't about timing, but about intention. And in Bhagyashree's case, the wait made it all the more unforgettable.
