Meenakshi made her debut through the Tamil film Karuppasamy Kuthagaikarar. She attracted everyone with her pragmatic acting in her first film itself. Then she gave importance to glamour roles. She donned glamour roles in one or two films including Rajathi Raja.
Since she was continuously getting glamour roles, she turned down these offers which did not have scope for acting. Finally she had acted in Mandhira Punnagai. After this she did not get any offers. Because of this switched over to Bengali films. She was donning small roles.
Unfortunately she did not get offers there also. So now she has joined as an assistant to a famous director there. Simultaneously she also accepts the roles that come her way. Though she had good talents, she is still not able to make it big. She did not het recognition even though she donned glamour roles. Sources close to her say that she will become a full fledged director after working in couple of films.
