Even though she had only an supporting role - which had a comic streak and also grey shades - in the movie, her acting was appreciated by one and all. She even bagged an award for the role. But later she was branded for same kind of comedy roles bordering on the line of indecency with double meaning dialogs. Initially she formed the best pair with [[N. S. Rao]] and with his unique kind of dialog delivery, they both regaled the [[Kannada]] audiences in many movies. Later after the actor's demise she was paired with [[Mukhyamantri Chandru]] and [[karibasavaiah]] with whom also she formed a great pairing and shared a unique comic timing.
