Bindiya's first Hindi film was Jeevan Jyoti opposite Vijay Arora. Though the film flopped, Bindiya forged ahead and met success with director Basu Chatterjee's Khatta Meetha (1977) and Prem Vivah (1979). Her biggest hit was Hrishikesh Mukherjee's comedy film Gol Maal (1979). [1] The success of Dada (1979) led her to sign a number of films with Vinod Mehra.

Bindiya was born in Kaman, Bharatpur (Rajasthan) to Venugopal Goswami, a Tamil Iyengar Brahmin father, and Dolly, a Catholic mother. Her father was a priest of Vallabh Sampraday and married 2 times in his lifetime. Bindiya was initially married to her frequent co-star Vinod Mehra, but they divorced after four years of marriage. [3] Thereafter, Bindiya gave up her acting career to marry director J.P. Dutta in 1985, [4] with whom she has two daughters, Nidhi and Siddhi.
