J.P Dutta's Yateem got her critical acclaim, and it was one of her performance-oriented roles, along with films such as Faasle, Naqaab, Khatarnaak and Pati Patni Aur Tawaif, although they were commercial failures. Her performance in hit films – Woh Phir Aayegi and Begunaah were critically acclaimed. In the 1990s, she worked with Aamir Khan in two films, Jawani Zindabad and Isi Ka Naam Zindagi, but both flopped at box office. She was signed for Khuda Gawah and she shot for few scenes, but due to delays in production, she was later replaced with Shilpa Shirodkar.
