In 1965, while filming Jab Jab Phool Khile, director Suraj Prakash recalled that a Maharashtrian lieutenant colonel was smitten by Nanda and had asked him to forward his marriage proposal to her mother. In the end, nothing came of it. Nanda's brothers brought home many suitors for her, but she turned them all down.

In 1992, a middle-age Nanda became engaged to director Manmohan Desai at the urging of Rehman. But he died after falling from the terrace of his rented flat in Girgaon, just a year after her mother died of cancer. According to reports, the railing he was leaning on collapsed. Nanda remained unmarried.

Nanda lived in her residence in Mumbai interacting only with family and close friends.Her close friends from the film industry included Waheeda Rehman, Nargis Rabadi, Asha Parekh, Helen, Saira Banu, Mala Sinha, Shakeela and Zabeen Jaleel. After a long time she made a public appearance with Waheeda Rehman for a screening of the Marathi film Natarang (2010).

She died in Mumbai on 25 March 2014 at her Versova residence, aged 75, following a heart attack

Bai Kishan, I am happy that you liked those songs and Nanda was indeed a great actress.
You know people on GNI normally do not read my postings especially in the Bollywood section,
I wonder why? May be they do not like New Comers. I am indeed grateful to Bai ASJ for letting me
post songs/Ghazals in the Bollywood section.  May Nanda Rest In Peace. Thanks Bai. Radha.
