In the same year she also played the lead role in the film ''[[Chetna]]'' which was shot in 28 days along with the shooting of ''Dastak''. That film was about the rehabilitation of prostitutes, and her role changed the portrayal of sex workers in [[Hindi cinema]].<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/790884.cms Fallen women in Bollywood films] ''[[Times of India]]'', 26 July 2004.</ref>

Her sexy roles brought her success but also limited her choice of roles in future films. She had roles in ''Haar Jeet'' (1972), ''Prem Parvat'' (1973), and the famous political satire ''Kissa Kursi Ka'' (1977). In 1984, after starring in [[Vijay Anand (Hindi film maker)|Vijay Anand]]'s ''Hum Rahen Na Rahen'' (1984) with Shabana Azmi, she married writer-director [[B. R. Ishara]], who had directed ''Chetna''. She also appeared in a Punjabi movie ''[[Putt Jattan De]]'' (1981) with [[Shatrughan Sinha]].
