Reena Roy was just 19 years old when she experienced stardom with the sleeper hit, Kaalicharan opposite Shatrughan Sinha. After this, Reena got more than 100 movies to work on. However, after her marriage to Pakistani cricketer, Mohsin Khan, the gorgeous actress disappeared from the film industry.

Reena Roy revealed the real reason behind taking a hiatus after marriage 

Reena Roy has undoubtedly done many superhit movies in her career, but it was her affair with Shatrughan Sinha that is still fresh in the minds of people. After learning that Shatrughan married his ladylove, Poonam Sinha, a heartbroken Reena had decided to move on in her life. As a result, she had tied the knot with Pakistani cricketer, Mohsin Khan in Karachi. The couple was content in their marriage life and soon got blessed with a daughter, Jannat. In an interview with the ETimes, Reena said that Jannat was the reason why she left Bollywood. In her words:

“I had the responsibility of my daughter. Her education is complete now. Being a single mother, you have to take care of your daughter first. It’s a full-time job. It's up to her what she wants to pursue."
