Nanda was cast as Dev Anand's sister under the Navketan banner 'Kaala Bazar' (1960). At this time, Nanda struck a life-long friendship with Waheeda Rehman, the heroine of this movie. After seeing Nanda's acting skills, Dev Anand was very impressed and promised her that he would give her the main lead role in 'Hum Dono' (1961). Anand also recommended her for a lead role in 'Teen Devian' (1965), which was directed by his younger brother Vijay Anand. She was cast alongside Kalpana and Simi Garewal as the other two 'devis' (Goddess). These two movies played a significant role in turning Nanda into a heroine who was equally comfortable playing the traditional Indian woman and the westernised damsel.
