Although Rehman achieved her film debut in the Telugu film ''[[Rojulu Marayi]]'' (1955), she received recognition for her work in Hindi films directed by [[Guru Dutt]], which included ''[[Pyaasa]]'' (1957), ''[[Kaagaz Ke Phool]]'' (1959), ''[[Chaudhvin Ka Chand]]'' (1960) and ''[[Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam]]'' (1962), for which she received her first [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]] [[Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress|nomination]]. She continued acting in the mid-1960s, starring in successful movies and establishing herself as one of the leading ladies in classic Indian cinema. Rehman's career reached its highest point when she won the [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress]] twice, for the Bollywood classic ''[[Guide (film)|Guide]]'' (1965) and the [[romantic thriller]] ''[[Neel Kamal (1968 film)|Neel Kamal]]'' (1968) and received nominations for ''[[Ram Aur Shyam]]'' (1967) and ''[[Khamoshi (1969 film)|Khamoshi]]'' (1969), the latter of which is considered to be her greatest performance ever.

Despite winning the [[National Film Award for Best Actress]] for portraying a clanswoman in love with a separate clansman in the commercial failure ''[[Reshma Aur Shera]]'' (1971), her career came to a standstill when she was reduced to motherly, supporting [[Character actor|roles]] in films. Rehman's further notable performances are ''[[Kabhie Kabhie (1976 film)|Kabhi Kabhie]]'' (1976), ''[[Namkeen]]'' (1982), ''[[Chandni (film)|Chandni]]'' (1989) and ''[[Lamhe]]'' (1991), and the latter film became her last film credit in the next 11 years until 2002, where she returned to the film industry.

In 2011, the [[Government of India]] honoured Rehman with the [[Padma Bhushan]], the third-highest civilian award of the country. Apart from acting, Rehman is a philanthropist. She is an advocate for education<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.shethepeople.tv/news/happy-birthday-to-bollywoods-screen-goddess-waheeda-rehman|title=79 And She Still Guides Our Hearts, Happy Birthday To Waheeda Rehman|last=Kathuria|first=Charvi|date=2017-02-03|website=SheThePeople TV|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-06}}</ref> and is an ambassador for [[RangDe|Rang De]], an organization combating [[poverty in India]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blog.rangde.org/2010/07/waheeda-rehman-rang-des-goodwill-brand-ambassador/#|title=Waheeda Rehman – Rang De’s goodwill Brand Ambassador|work=Rangde|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150707084735/http://blog.rangde.org/2010/07/waheeda-rehman-rang-des-goodwill-brand-ambassador/#|archive-date=7 July 2015|url-status=live|access-date=15 October 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
