Trivia

When Bindiya was just 14 years old, she was discovered by Superstar Hema Malini's mother at a party, who felt there was a resemblance to Hema and so recommended Bindiya's name to film producers who soon cast her in hit films.

The money she was making from acting in films allowed her to buy a Mercedes when she was just 15 years old and moved into her own flat when she turned 16.

Christian name is Debra.

Was involved with cinematographer Baba Azmi when she was a teenager .

She knew actress Parveen Babi since she was a little girl, since her sister Pearl and Parveen were schoolmates. They later acted together in the big-budget film Shaan (1980), but the shooting was delayed, because of Parveen's absence. As Bindiya later explained it, "We were told she was suffering from jaundice (Parveen's mental illness reportedly began at this time) and not what had actually happened to her. For two months the set where Jeete hain shaan se was to be shot stood idle. Eventually, Parveen returned and shot it quickly. She had put on some weight but looked lovely! From no angle could one say she was unwell". She had warm memories of Parveen, with whom she worked again in Khud-Daar (1982). She said, "Parveen was my sister Pearl's friend. She treated me like a kid sister, a bachcha. Pearl didi (who worked as a air hostess) would bring make-up from abroad - Mary Quant, Rimmel products. Parveen picked up what she liked from them. We shared make-up on the set too. We shared a comfort level.".

Even though, she acted in memorable films, usually for Basu Chatterji such as "Khatta Meeta" (1977) and "Prem Vivah" (1979), as well as Hrishikesh Mukherjee's big hit "Golmaal" (1979), and Ramesh Sippy's "Shaan" (1980), she gave up acting to marry her second husband, director J.P. Dutta, with whom she has two daughters, Nidi and Siddhi.

Her first husband was her frequent leading man Vinod Mehra, but the marriage dissolved quickly, partly because of family tensions.

She currently creates the costumes for female stars, such as Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor, for her husband J.P. Dutta's films, such as "Border," "Refugee," and "LOC."
