Her 1995 film Rangeela is remembered even today as a classic and even though she does not act in films that often anymore, she is quite active on social media, especially putting her thoughts forth over political matters. She was also in the news last year when she got in an online fight with Kangana Ranaut over a series of differences in opinions.
