Waheeda Ji has been critically acclaimed for her roles in Hindi films, prominent among them Pyaasa, Kaagaz Ke Phool, Chaudhari Ka Chand, Saheb Biwi Aur Ghulam, Guide, Khamoshi, and several others. In her career spanning over five decades, she has essayed her roles with extreme finesse, leading to a National Film Award for her role as a clanswoman in the film Reshma and Shera.
