Trivia
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.

Quotes
On why she left acting for a long time: "I did not want my daughter Jhanvi to be brought up by servants and I did not hire any servants. I brought her up singlehandedly as I did not want to miss out on her upbringing."
