Film career

She again won a Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in Fiza (2000). Her performance in Shakti: The Power (2002) was highly appreciated and she was nominated for Best Actress at every single award ceremony but lost mostly to Aishwarya Rai for Devdas. The actress has appeared opposite Govinda in many films. The most popular of these have been Raja Babu (1994), Dulaara (1994), Coolie No. 1 (1995), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996), Hero No. 1 (1997) and Haseena Maan Jaayegi (1999).
