Personal Life
She has been close friends with actress Waheeda Rehman, ever since they co-starred in Kaala Bazaar. In 1965, when she was filming Jab Jab Phool Khile, director Suraj Prakash recalled that a very handsome Maharashtrian lieutenant colonel was smitten by Nanda and had asked him to forward his marriage proposal to her mother. In the end, nothing came of it. Nanda's brothers also brought home many suitors for her, but she turned them down.
In 1992, a middle-age Nanda became engaged to director Manmohan Desai at the urging of her best friend Waheeda Rehman. But he committed suicide in 1994 by jumping from a building in Girgaon that he owned, just a year after her mother died of cancer. Nanda has remained unmarried.
Today, Nanda lives in her residence in Mumbai interacting only with family and close friends, such as Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh, Helen, Saira Banu. After a long time she made a public appearance with Rehman for a screening of the Marathi film Natarang (2010).
