Career
Singh started her career with the television serial Intazar Aur Sahii, which was telecast on Doordarshan. Despite her well received performance in Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, Singh's career never took off. Her reluctance to doing glamorous roles did not help her course either, although she did get a few hit films to her credit in Hindi and Telugu including Munnabhai M.B.B.S. and Santosham. She has starred in Punjabi films such as Lakh Pardesi Hoye. She has also starred in a Malayalam film Loud Speaker directed by Jayaraj.
She is director of the NGO Save our Souls for abolishing dowry. Singh is also a trained classical dancer having studied Bharatanatyam with Deepak Mazumdar.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
