After Rustoms, she came to Delhi and studied at [[Carmel Convent School#Delhi|Carmel Convent]].

.<ref name="lilleteworld"/><ref name="dramaoflife"/> When she was in Class IX, the family moved back to Pune and she joined [[St. Mary's School, Pune|St. Mary's (Pune)]], where she first started acting. Her earliest role was that of Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest. As she was good at academics, her parents were keen on her pursuing Science, however, Ms Dubey wanted to study Arts. After a great deal of persuasion she was allowed to study English literature at Lady Shri Ram College (LSR). It was during this period that she met her husband Ravi Dubey who was doing his M.A in Economics from the Delhi School of Economics. She completed her M.A in English from LSR and her second master's degree in mass communications from IIMC. She married Ravi Dubey on 12 September 1978.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=May 26|first1=TNN {{!}}|last2=2002|last3=Ist|first3=01:04|title=Lillete Dubey: The drama of life {{!}} undefined News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/delhi-times/Lillete-Dubey-The-drama-of-life/articleshow/11004745.cms|access-date=2020-09-10|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Curators {{!}} Serendipity Arts Festival|url=http://www.serendipityartsfestival.com/archives-2016/curators/performing-arts/lillete-dubey/|access-date=2020-09-10|website=Serendipity|language=en-US}}</ref>

== Personal life & Family ==
Lillete's husband Ravi Dubey was the youngest-ever General Manager of the Taj Mansingh hotel and rose to be the Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at the [[Tata Group]] before he quit in 2004. He died of [[pancreatic cancer]] in 2015.<ref>{{cite news|title=Youngest-ever GM of Taj Mansingh dies at 60|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Youngest-ever-GM-of-Taj-Mansingh-dies-at-60/articleshow/47256663.cms|work=The Times of India|date=2015-05-13}}</ref>

== Career ==

=== Films ===
Ms Dubey's entry into films was quite by chance when her husband was posted to Mumbai in 1995, and she has often called herself an 'accidental film actress’. She debuted with the film ''Love You Hamesha'' starring [[Akshaye Khanna|Akshay Khanna]] and [[Sonali Bendre]] in 1999. The movie was directed by Kailash Surendranath. After that, she played a supporting character in ''Bawandar'', directed by Jag Mundhra and starring Nandita Das, in 2000. It was based on the story of a rape victim, Bhanwari Devi, from Rajasthan.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lillete's life goals|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/lillete-39-s-life-goals/cid/1432992|access-date=2020-09-24|website=www.telegraphindia.com}}</ref>
Her career breakthrough was in 2001 when she essayed the role of Aunty Rose in Shyam Benegal's classic ''Zubeida'' and won many hearts and next as Shabana, the mother of the female protagonist Sakeena (played by Amisha Patel) in the movie Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Her second hit, ''Monsoon Wedding'', came out later in the same year and became yet another milestone in her film career.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Lillete Dubey - Movies, Biography, News, Age & Photos|url=https://in.bookmyshow.com/person/lillete-dubey/3727|access-date=2020-09-24|website=BookMyShow}}</ref> Divya Unny from [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'' (Indian magazine)]] said,

''"She acted in her first film Zubeidaa (2001) at the age of 47 which would have been considered a late start for an actor. Even as an independent actor, Dubey created a niche. She has defied expectations many times on screen. She was the only actress her age who could carry off smoking a cigarette in a shiny blouse and petticoat, with rollers in her hair, in Monsoon Wedding (2001).''"<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-02-17|title=Lillete Dubey: 'It's a never-ending trip'|url=https://openthemagazine.com/art-culture/lillete-dubey-its-a-never-ending-trip/|access-date=2020-09-24|website=Open The Magazine|language=en-GB}}</ref>

The following year, in 2002, she again portrayed the role of one of the lead characters’ mother in the movie [[Om Jai Jagadish]], directed by Anupam Kher. Her on-screen daughter was Urmila Matondkar. Another of her memorable roles was that of ‘Shanti Patel’, the wife of Paresh Rawal in Baghban (2003).<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rituparnasandilya|date=2017-06-17|title=Where are the other fathers in BAGHBAN?|url=http://www.royrituparna.com/where-are-the-other-fathers-in-baghban/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Rituparna Roy|language=en-US}}</ref>

The role that gained a lot of attention was that of Jaswinder "Jazz" Kapoor in Kal Ho Naa Ho, in 2003. She played Jazz, an older female character that is fierce, unapologetic, and in touch with her sexuality.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sharma|first=Anshika|date=2016-11-28|title=An Ode to the Women of Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Why Bollywood Needs More Such Characters|url=https://www.vagabomb.com/An-Ode-to-the-Women-of-Kal-Ho-Naa-Ho/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=www.vagabomb.com|language=English}}</ref> In 2004 she played the role of Preity Zinta's reel mother in the movie Lakshya. The film was directed by Farhan Akhtar and starred Hrithik Roshan as the male lead. In the same year, she also worked in Anjan Dutt's Bow Barracks Forever, a film that revolved around the troubles faced by the Anglo-Indian people to keep up their lifestyle, in the post-independence era and which won her the Best Actress award at the Madrid International Film Festival.<ref name=":0" />
