After being first runner-up at Miss India in 1978, she went on to represent her country at the Miss World 1978 beauty pageant where she placed as a top 15 semi-finalist.

Some of her famous dance numbers were to the songs "Hari om Hari" in Pyaara Dushman (1980), "Tu Mujhe Jaan" in Wardaat (1981) and "Rambha Ho" in Armaan (1982 film). Some of her renowned films are Satte Pe Satta (1982), Anjaam (1994), Raja Hindustani (1996) and Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999). She was critically acclaimed for her performance as a prison warden in Anjaam (in which she was hanged to death) which also features Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in a negative role. She has also acted on television. She also became a pop singer and performed in shows.
