Looking For Meaningful Roles

The actress also made it clear that she is open to different kinds of projects as long as the role leaves an impact. “I'm really looking forward to meaningful opportunities, whether it's a lead role, supporting character or even a short show,” she said, adding that the platform does not matter to her as much as the quality of the performance. 

Interestingly, Meenakshi also revealed that she is not using an agent or management agency for her comeback. Despite several suggestions from people in the industry, she prefers handling her career decisions independently.

A Long Break From Bollywood

The actress had stepped away from Bollywood in the mid-1990s after marrying investment banker Harish Mysore and moving to the United States, where she focused on family life and dance. Over the years, fans continued to remember her for powerful performances in films such as Ghayal, Shahenshah, and Ghatak.
