Wahab made her debut with 'Ishq Ishq Ishq,' but she got her breakthrough with the 1976 film 'Chit Chor.' Today, on Zarina Wahab's birthday, here's a look at 5 of her much-loved films:

Agneepath
In this film, Zarina portrayed the character of Suhasini Chauhan, the mother of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, played by Hrithik Roshan. In the film, Wahab showcased strong values when she kicks her own son out because of his wrong actions.
Over the years, Zarina Wahab has received praise from critics and audiences alike for her natural and heartfelt performances. She has won several awards and nominations for her work in films and television. On the actress' birthday, we wish that she continues to do what she's good at- 'acting'.
