Narayangaonkar rose to prominence as a leading figure in Maharashtra’s folk theatre tradition, captivating audiences with her masterful renditions of Lavani and Tamasha performances. She was awarded two medals by the President of India in 1957 and 1990 for her exceptional contributions to traditional folk art.

Kapoor last appeared on screen in the 2024 film Stree 2, a sequel to the 2018 release.
