She has acted with Bachchan in many movies such as Satte Pe Satta, Sholay, Baghban and Baabul among others.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan will reportedly be doing a cameo in actors Zayed Khan and Dia Mirza’s debut production Love Breakups Zindagi. “Since both Dia and Zayed have known SRK, they decided to request him to do a special appearance in the film.

Apparently, Zayed was keen on roping in brother-in-law Hrithik Roshan for doing the same cameo, but there were date issues.
