Vidya Sinha became an overnight star with Basu Chatterjee's low-budget but landmark film "Ragniganda" (1974), where her realistic acting, and simple good looks were a sharp contrast to the loud, garish-looking and violent Bollywood films of the 1970's.

Her personal favorite films are "Choti Si Baat" (1976) and B.R. Chopra's comedy "Pati, Patni, Aur Woh" (1977), co-starring a frequent leading man Sanjeev Kumar, whom she has stated is her favorite hero.

After starring in Basu Chatterjee's hit comedy "Choti Si Baat" (1976) alongside co-star Amol Palekar, she was approached by the legendary Raj Kapoor for "Satyam Shivam Sundaram" (1976), but she turned it down because of the body exposure involved, and the role went to Zeenat Aman, who had no problem exhibiting her scantily clad body.

In 2004, she took part in another television serial, "Kavyanjali," and she was thrilled that her work schedule still allowed her to spend time with her teenage daughter, Jhanvi.
