After a few flops in Telugu and Tamil, I was confused whether I should pursue a career in films. My parents were keen that I get back to studies. I was in my teens. It was then that I was offered a role in the Telugu film Seetharamayyagari Manavaralu. I had to play the granddaughter of Nageswara Rao sir. Also came my way the Tamil film En raasavin manasile. I was to play the lead opposite Raj Kiran, who was also the producer of the film. Frankly, I wondered whether I was doing the right thing by accepting the film. I didn’t know whether it would do any good to my career. Fortunately Meena was proved wrong by the box-office. Both films were super hits. And Meena finally arrived.
