One of the scenes that is etched in my memory is the scene where collector wants her to attend some meeting, which she refuses as she has to leave for her divorce hearing. Her response to his question as to what could be more important to her than the meeting, catches him off guard, her brave face with the all too familiar pain in her eyes and his helplessness at her situation, were some of the scenes that made me wait anxiously for my clock to strike 8 every weekday.
Another one is the confrontation after marriage when Shiv is eager to consummate their relationship and her trying to find ways to avoid him and then the final meltdown where she says she will not be able to...just loved her!!

For me , all her scenes are very special , but in such special scenes she put her heart and soul in to that role while defining that character to eternal level .She was a spectacularly brilliant actress, one who can handle any kind of role with ease, who has given the term versatility a new meaning, who can reduce the most hardened of hearts into a bundle of emotions with her performances.
Her powerful display of anguish in that hotel room , for the insult Jagan meted out to her when she visited Mumbai to greet him , to be with him on his birthday . In that scene , her outcry for that insult , her flashy change of expressions were just like lightning blinds our eyes and numb our mind at once in such speed she conveyed her hurt and pain with that wail --
Then , for the first time she declared in the hall of Badi Haveli after hearing the news as she topped in the board exams , in that occasion while declaring " I too have a mind to think , I too have a heart to feel , enough , from now onwards I want to decide what I want to do in my life " --when Jagan questioned her why she did not take permission from him for her further studies ! What a power packed performance it was !!
Her dressing down to Jagan with a thunderous slap in the hotel room in front of Gowri , Dsa , and all the other family members prior to the divorce , to express exact feeling while delivering powerful dialogues is very difficult to any veteran actress , but she performed that day in an excellent manner .
In the previous night of her marriage with Shiv , while climbing the staircase , from there , looking up towards the rooms of her family members , in that expression , she reminded us one Suchitra Sen , and to some extent Meena Kumari too . Different situations , defining moments , she never under perform in any scene , all her scenes are well enacted ones .
While meeting Jagan in her room few minutes before her marriage , her expressions there were exceptionally great , beyond words , one has to see and applaud . Such a great actress she was .
