She later won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Rao Saheb (1986).Old interview with Vijaya Mehta Vijaya was the niece of Nalini Jaywant, cousin to Nutan and Tanuja and daughter-in-law of Durga Khote. Talking about these ties, she told The Hindu in 2011, “I was too used to glamour at home. Instinctively I knew cinema was not for me. Learning about the interconnectedness of all the arts in theatre from Alkazi was a revelation. Adi Marzban said: ‘Don't talk, jump in', and made me a theatre director. I was barely 21 when I directed Tendulkar's ‘ Shrimant'. It made us both.“About moving to movies from theatre, she said, “Satyajit Ray arrived on the scene. Then I saw Shyam Benegal's ‘Ankur' and Govind Nihalani's ‘Aakrosh'. I realised that filmmaking can be as satisfying as my theatre. Films came to me in my 45th year, an autobiography of Lakshmibai Tilak, others mostly based on my plays. So, though I didn't know what structuring was, I knew exactly what I wanted in ‘Rao Saheb'. I am proud of my medical TV serial ‘Lifeline'.‘
