Her acting is considered daring and bold[2]. She was the trendsetter in topless ad on Stardust which was soon followed by many other actresses.However this led to her being charged under indecency and obscenity laws by conservative Indians. She charged these people of being hypocrites. Her appearance in court in 2000 on those charges, wearing a burqa to evade photographers, led to death threats and protests from the local Islamic community.

Although the photo shoot gained her a lot of publicity and attention initially, it also damaged her career, as it led to perceptions that she was not a serious actor. She made her debut in 1992 and has not been credited since 2002. She is now settled in New York City.
She was also interrogated in Fodder Scam case where she was alleged for entertaining and earning benefits from accused in the case. Later she explained she was not aware that they were involved in the case.
