In late 1970s or early 1980s, she started acting in Hindi and Marathi films.[citation needed] Upon her marriage to Marathi actor Vivek Lagoo.[citation needed] she took the name Reema Lagoo.

After this she starred in action drama and crime thriller Gumrah (1993) as Sridevi's mother and Jai Kishen (1994) as Akshay Kumar's mother.
