None of the films proved to be successful and she was hardly noticed. It was another 1971 film ‘hare rama hare krishna’, which served as the first major role of her career. Zeenat played the role of dev anand’ sister 'janice/jasbeel', which was first offered to zaheeda. She won the heart of the audience in the r. D. Burman's song "dum maro dum".
