Nanda was one of the best actresses of the Gujarati era. Family compulsions brought him to the screen at a very young age. At just ten years old, Nanda took over the responsibilities of his family after his father’s death. At this young age she became a favorite of the film industry as Baby Nanda. After this Baby Nanda became heroine Nanda and ruled the film industry for years. During this period, Nanda worked in many films and earned a name, but she always wanted to change her image. She rose to fame only by doing romantic roles or typecast roles, but she waited all her life for a role that would give her solace and also cater to people’s preferences.

Nanda also did negative roles to change his image but it did not work, after which Nanda admitted that it is not easy to change the image and get the desired role. Just as my desire in acting remained unfulfilled, so did my desire to find love. Nanda was in love with Manmohan Desai. But due to shyness she could never express her love and got married to Manmohan Desai. After the death of his wife, Manmohan Desai remembered Nanda. He proposed marriage to 53-year-old Nanda and she agreed. But this happiness did not last long. Manmohan Desai died in an accident two years after the engagement. Since then Nanda was always seen in white clothes. It is said that she spends her days pretending to be Manmohan Desai’s widow.
