Bhagyashree and Salman Khan: The young cast and crew of Maine Pyar Kiya

When Maine Pyar Kiya released at the end of 1989, it really was a youth-quake. The cast and crew were so young - and not pretending to be young. They got allllll the ingredients right. 

Wikipedia has demystyfied the age of actors and the cast and crew. This is a reminder that a young team getting together can and do create magic. 

The film wasn't just a movie - it was a movement. It captured a young zeitgeist. The Barjatya brilliance shone through. 

Maine Pyar Kiya was filmed primarily between 1988 and 1989 before its release on December 29, 1989.

  • Salman Khan (Prem Choudhary): Born December 27, 1965.
