Due to her roles that often challenge the superficially-traditional outlook of the Indian society, she is often labelled a "non-conforming artiste" by the media.
Apart from acting, Mita is also actively involved in social work. She has worked with children in remand homes and with sex workers (she started a theatre troupe by enlisting 30 sex workers).
She has not had any significant assignments from 2004, after the film ''Phir Milenge''.
