She lost her father when she was only three and was brought up by her mother, Vijaya Mulay. She was attracted toward films because of her. In 1965 she was chosen by Pears Soap to be its model. It was this ad film which caught Mrinal Sen's attention and he signed her for Bhuvan Shome (1969).

Since then, she has been actively producing films and has made over 60 documentaries. She achieved national awards for four of them. Close to 30 years after Bhuvan Shome, she made a great comeback into mainstream Bollywood cinema, through Gulzar's Hu Tu Tu for which she received another national award as the best supporting actress.
