She was introduced to movie audiences in 1967 in a Bengali movie Balika Badhu directed by Tarun Majumdar.
She was on the top of her career in the 70s and early 80s, when she starred opposite heroes such as Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Jitendra, . She received Filmfare nominations as Best Actress for Anuraag (1972) where she played a blind girl, and as Best Supporting Actress for Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974) where she played a rape survivor.
