She appeared in over 200 films that included ‘Coolie No 1’, ‘Hum’, ‘Gopi Kishan’, ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’ over her long film career. She had also appeared in many popular television serials such as Zabaan Sambhal Ke, Shriman Shrimati, Kabhi Yeh Kabhi Woh and last but not the least Dekh Bhai Dekh.
Designer Sandeep took to social media early Tuesday morning to make the announcement:
Her co-star in 1992's 'Khuda Gawah', Amitabh Bachchan praised her for her contribution to the Indian film industry.
Ex-member of Parliament and sister to Sanjay Dutt, Priya Dutt posted a throwback picture of 'Shammi aunty' along with her mother Nargis.
She was last seen in Farah-Khan-Boman Irani's outing, 'Shirini Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi' in 2013.
