Bindiya Goswami was born on 8th August, 1961. Bindiya was a Bollywood actress who acted in Hindi films from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Bindiya Goswami was discovered when she was just fourteen years old by superstar Hema Malini's mother at a party who felt that there was a resemblance to Hema and recommended her to film producers.

Bindiya's first Hindi film was "Jeevan Jyothi" where she co-starred with Vijay Arora whose career was on the decline, and the film flopped. Bindiya Goswami forged on ahead and soon became a success starring for director Basu Chatterjee in Khatta Meetha (1977) and Prem Vivah (1979).

Bindiya has taken up designing costumes for female stars such as Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor for her husband J.P. Dutta's films, such as Border(1997), Refugee (2000) and LOC Kargil (2003).However, her biggest hit was for director Hrishikesh Mukherjee in the comedy Golmaal (1979). That film's success led her to take Hema Malini's place in the big-budget film Shaan (1980), because Hema was busy with her other film commitments.
