She was awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 along with Sharmila Tagore for her contribution to Hindi cinema. Her roles contributed to a then new onscreen persona in which she was known for her female-oriented roles. She is the recipient of a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress, which was given to her for her performance in film Apnapan (1977), and had received nominations for Filmfare Best Actress Award for Nagin (1976) and Aasha (1980).

She has three siblings who all disowned their father after the parents divorced. Her mother renamed all the four children after the divorce. She was renamed as Roopa Rai, which was changed to Reena Roy by the producer of her first film, Zaroorat. She started acting in films in her early teens.

The couple later divorced.
