Mega-star Bhagyashree says* "Life is not black n white, it's the grey that weaves relationships together. NRI WIVES is an interesting combination of relatable stories, of people around us. ... of experiences bitter n sweet, of acceptance that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. Gunjan had poured her heart out into making this a very special film.. go watch it with the people you love.. As far as ‘true first love’ goes, that happens only once, then are recurring desires, later in life, which one must try to control and not cross the limits. Also I am delighted to know that audiences have loved watching Salman Khan and me once again in ‘Kisi Ka Bhai—Kisi Ki Jaan’ movie. Prem and Suman are evergreen screen-characters of ‘Main Pyar Kiya’ even after 34 years ! . Must say, gentleman-actor Salman and I still share a wonderful bond of friendship and after lots of initial hesitation from my side, director Sooraj Barjatya finally convinced me to act in Maine Pyar Kiya” (1989) ,

My role is very interesting too wherein this girl even after years of her marriage has been hiding some taboo secret of her childhood and how she reacts when that secret knocks her door now in a vulnerable state of life. I played the lead role in Old Secrets with my co actors Gaurav Gera and Sadiya Siddiqui and thoroughly loved the cool yet warm vibes of NRI Life productions team, cast crew and the shooting fun in Seattle and the welcoming love of Seattle community too. I recommend all to watch these unique & distinct NRI Wives Grey Stories"
