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.
