She began the 80s with Do Aur Do Paanch with Shashi Kapoor. In Satte Pe Satta (1982), she played a nurse who marries Amitabh Bachchan’s character and brings order in the life of seven brothers. In Vijay (1988), her fans saw her as a wealthy woman who marries a man against her father’s wish.
She began to be seen more frequently on the screen after Hey Ram (2000). In Baghban (2003), she and Amitabh Bachchan played an elderly couple who are ill treated by their children. She was seen in a brief appearance in the hit Veer Zaara (2004) as Shah Rukh Khan’s mother. Baabul (2006) again saw her playing Amitabh Bachchan’s wife.
In 1999, the actress was acknowledged for her work with a Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.
