Her father, Vinayak Damodar Karnataki a.k.a Master Vinayak, was a successful actor-director in the 1930s and 1940s. He died when Nanda was just a child. The family faced hard times. She became a child artiste and helped out her family by working in films like Jaggu in the early 50's. She was tutored at home by renowned school-teacher and Bombay Scouts Commissioner, Gokuldas V. Makhi.Her paternal uncle V. Shantaram gave Baby Nanda ( her screen name then ) a big break by casting her in a successful brother-sister saga Toofan Aur Diya (1956). She received her first Filmfare nomination as Best Supporting Actress for "Bhabhi" (1957), but she claims that the reason she didn't win was because there was lobbying involved. She then played supporting roles like sister to stars like Dev Anand in Kala Bazar and did small roles in big films like Dhool Ka Phool.She played the title role in L.V. Prasad's Chhoti Bahen and the movie was a big hit, and then on she started playing lead roles like one of Dev Anand's heroine in Hum Dono (1961). She was the heroine in B R Chopra's songless film Kanoon (1960), which was very unusual back then. She won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for "Aanchal" (1960).She starred with Shashi Kapoor in a lot of films while he was a newcomer, but they were not successful. But they later had a big hit with Jab Jab Phool Khile (1965). In this film Nanda played a westernised role for the first time and it helped her image. Her favorite song that was famously picturized on her in the film was "Yeh Samaa." (Shashi Kapoor would later declare that Nanda was his favorite heroine.) She would continue to play heroine roles throughout the 1960's and signed with new leading men, such as Rajesh Khanna in the songless suspense thriller Ittefaq (1969) for which she received a Filmfare nomination as Best Actress. After Khanna became a star, he signed two more films with her, the thriller The Train (Hindi film) (1969) and a comedy Joroo Ka Ghulam (1972).After a small role in Manoj Kumar's Shor (1972), Nanda stopped appearing in films. She came back in three films in 1982, all coincidentally playing heroine Padmini Kolhapure's mother in Ahista Ahista (1982 film), Mazdoor and Raj Kapoor's Prem Rog. Then she permanently retired from acting.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 had been smitten by Nanda" and had asked him to forward his marriage proposal to her mother, but in the end, nothing came of it.. Nanda's brothers also supposedly had brought home many suitors for her, but she turned them down. In 1992, a middle-aged Nanda became engaged to director Manmohan Desai at the urging of Waheeda Rehman. But he died tragically, before they could tie the knot, and Nanda has remained unmarried.Today, Nanda lives in her residence in Mumbai interacting only with close friends and family.
