An actor par excellence, one of the most awarded female actors of Hindi cinema, one for whom her simplicity and confidence was her prowess, the mastery over her craft and her finesse is unquestionable even though she selected mainstream cinema as her field of work! From being firebrand in Seema to docile in Sujata to ever compassionate in Bandini to playful in Tere Ghar ke Samne to reticently matured in Saudagar and many many more such films, she aced it in every character. I am sure she will find a place in all time favorite female actors of India for many, certainly does for me and quite towards the top! And she continues to live through her brilliant filmography!
