[edit] Career
From beauty contests, she moved into film - with her movie debut being Sultanat in 1986. She starred a Kannada film titled Premaloka which was a hit. Her first big hit in Bollywood was Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak [3] in 1988, in which she starred with Aamir Khan. Following films did not do as well.

Unfortunately the first two films produced by the production company - Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Asoka failed at the box office.
