Sulakshana Pandit is an actress and playback singer, who won the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award in 1975. Sulakshana comes from a musically-inclined family. Her brothers are Jatin Pandit and Lalit Pandit, better known as the composing duo Jatin Lalit. Her sister is actress and playback singer Vijeta Pandit who had starred in the teen hit film Love Story (1981 film). Sulakshana had a mid-level career as heroine in the 1970s and early 1980s, usually cast opposite Jeetendra in films, such as Apnapan (1977). Simultaneously, she also had a playback singing career, where she not only sang for some of her films that she starred in, but also for other heroines.
