‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ (1989) wasn’t just a hit movie; it became a cultural touchstone in the late ’80s. It was Sooraj Barjatya’s first film as a director, and it made stars out of Salman Khan and Bhagyashree. It also introduced a bunch of fresh faces, like Pervien Dastur, who played Seema, Suman’s stylish and witty friend. The movie crushed it at the box office and became a Bollywood classic, but Pervien, unlike the other actors, pretty much disappeared from the public eye after that.
