She starred in movies like 'Saajan', 'Vaastav', 'Dilwale', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', and 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'.

She emerged as Indian cinema's new-age mother, breaking away from the older portrayal of the long-suffering Indian mother.

She also became a household name with television serials like 'Tu Tu, Main Main'and 'Shrimaan Shrimati', where again she moved away from playing the malicious Indian mother-in-law.

Lagoo also acted in Marathi films.

Lagoo was acting in the daily soap 'Naamkaran'before she passed away.
