Here are the roles she is most remembered for:
02/9Maine Pyaar Kiya
Reema Lagoo played Salman Khan's mother in 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'. Her portrayal was a mix of loving, understanding and supportive mother who approves of her son's relationship with a middle-class girl even when her husband (played by Rajeev Verma) detests of the relationship.
03/9Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!
Instilling family values in her two daughters played by Madhuri Dixit and Renuka Sahane, Reema Lagoo played the every bit quintessential mother who marries her daughters to an understanding family. The film beautifully portrayed family emotions and like they are fondly known - sanskaras!
04/9Hum Saath-Saath Hain
In 'Hum Saath-Saath Hain', Reema Lagoo was seen in rather two shades - one of a caring mother, and other of a regressive mother who takes decisions in impulsiveness. However, she yet again proves that there is nothing as pure as a mother's love as she keeps her family intact and close.
05/9Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Playing mother to Kajol in Karan Johar's directorial debut 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', Reema Lagoo set an example by understanding and supporting her daughter's love for a man. She understands that her daughter doesn't love the man she is getting engaged to, and instead helps her through the situation as she doesn't pressurise her for marriage.
06/9Vaastav
Showcasing utmost strength and immense power, Reema Lagoo played a rather unconventional mother to Sanjay Dutt in 'Vaastav'. She played mother to a gangster, who she later on herself kills on his own insistence.
07/9Kal Ho Na Ho
In 'Kal Ho Na Ho', Reema Lagoo played an emotionally strong mother who was aware that her son was inching closer to death and yet never gave up on hope. There are a few absolutely heartwarming scenes that she shares with Shah Rukh Khan in the film.Her impeccable acting of a mother in the film will surely bring tears to your eyes.
08/9Tu Tu Main Main
Playing a saas in 'Tu Tu Main Main', Reema Lagoo set the bar high for many actresses who followed suit. Fondly remembered by us 90s kids, 'Tu Tu Main Main' was nothing close to the Ekta Kapoor 'K' series. The show was a rather interesting and comic take on a saas-bahu relationship.
09/9Naamkarann
Reema Lagoo was last seen in a television show titled 'Naamkarann', in which she played a rather grey character. She played a grandmother and was the main antagonist of the show.
