Scroll below to read the whole scoop.
The 1989 romantic musical film also stars Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Rajeev Verma, Ajit Vachani, and Laxmikant Berde in supporting roles. While Mohnish Bahl appeared as a lead villain for the first time in his career. Reportedly, the film was so successful that it saved Rajshri Production from shutting down.
Back in 2020, Abhimanyu Dassani sat for an interview with Bollywood Life where he was asked about the fondest memory of his mother, Bhagyashree or her film. Recalling an interesting incident, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Nahi Hota star said, “Well…now that you mention it (his fondest memory from my mother’s films or something that had transpired behind the scenes), there’s this one memory I clearly have from Maine Pyar Kiya.”

“I just wish that one day, I’d be fortunate or privileged enough to have a filmmaker pursue me like that for a role. That’d be a really nice feeling.”
