At the young age of nine, Sulakshana started her musical career. In 1967, she made her playback singing debut. With her emotional song Tu Hi Sagar Hai Tu Hi Kinara from Sankalp (1975), she became well-known and won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer.
One of her most notable early compositions is her duet Saat Samandar Paar Se with Lata Mangeshkar from the 1967 movie Taqdeer.

She first appeared in the role of an actress opposite the late Sanjeev Kumar in the film Uljhan (1975). Her other significant films were Sankoch (1976), Hera Pheri, Apnapan, Khandaan, and Waqt Ki Deewar.
Her elegant on-screen image and emotional expressiveness were applauded while performing with some of the biggest stars of Bollywood like Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Vinod Khanna, Shashi Kapoor, and Shatrughan Sinha.
A love story that ended in heartbreak
Sulakshana Pandit's love for Uljhan co-star Sanjeev Kumar has made news in her personal life. According to reports, the actress fell in love with him while the movie was being made. Hema Malini rejected Sanjeev Kumar's proposal, despite the fact that he was in love with her.
Sanjeev Kumar rejected Sulakshana's later confession that she wanted to wed him. After his death in 1985, she was so deeply impacted that she never got married and finally left the film business.
