in 1978. She won the award for a role which was totally deglamorised wherein she wore a simple saree and was bespectacled throughout the film. Some of her notable films are Satte Pe Satta, Duniya meri jeb mein, Judaai, Premrog etc.
She was seen playing character roles in films like Fiza, Aghaaz, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom & Aaja Nachle. In spite of her transition into a character actor, today Asha is still remembered for her bold and daring image of 70s and 80s.
