She started her acting career with Bengali film Badhu Baran. In 1970, she did her first Hindi film Jeevan Mrityu alongside actor Dharmendra. After working in films like Sharmilee, Lal Patthar and Paras, the lady became an established actress. She got the opportunity to work with renowned actors like Rajesh Khanna, Shashi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchcan and Dev Anand.
In one of her interviews in the past, the lady revealed that Rajesh Khanna and Shashi Kapoor were her favourite co-stars.
In late 1980s and 1990s, the lady took up some challenging roles of the elderly mother and left many teary-eyed with her performance in some of her films. One of her outstanding performance came when she portrayed the mother of superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in 1995 movie Karan Arjun. She not only did justice to her role but her dialogue, ‘Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge’ became very popular.
