Daljit Kaur’s village is Aitiana, near Sudhar of district Ludhiana. She was raised in Siliguri of West Bengal. Daljit completed her B.A. Honors degree in History from Shri Ram College of Delhi. Her husband was Late Harinder Singh Deol.

Daljit did a Punjabi film, Daaj(it became a big hit,) in which she was paired with Dheeraj Kumar. Actor Sunil Dutt gave her a chance in the Hindi film Yaari Dushmani (1980.) Her major Punjabi hit films were Putt Jattan De, Maamla Garbar Hai, Ki Banu Duniya Da, Daaj, Giddha, Roop Shaukinan Da, Vairi Jatt, Anakh Jattan Dee, Udeekan Saun Diya, Patola. Her other Hindi films were Yash Chopra's Faasle, Rajkumar Kohli's Jeene Nahin Doonga, Subhash Ghai's Ek Aur Ek Gyarah with Sanjay Dutt, Govinda, and Jackie Shroff (whom she was paired opposite.) Raj Kapoor offered her an important role in Henna, but he died before she could do the film. Daljit played a negative role of an evil daughter-in-law in Amrit. She also played a very different role from her Punjabi film image in Yash Chopra's Faasle as a woman who has an affair with her handicapped husband's brother. Daljit Kaur was also in the Punjabi hits Mahaul Theek Hai and Jee Aayan Nu.

In her career, Daljit worked with top artists from the Punjabi film industry such as Veerendra, Gurdas Maan, Satish Kaul, Guggu Gill, Baldev Khosa, and Yograj Singh. She was also paired in a few movies with Shavinder Mahal, Surinder Walia, TV actors Pankaj Dheer and Arjun. Guggu Gill and Yograj Singh received their first success as heroes with her. Daljit Kaur was torn between the Punjabi and Hindi film industries. However, with much demand in Punjab, she preferred doing Punjabi films.
