She said that women play a very important role in everyone’s life and her mother and teachers have had a strong influence on her journey. Meenakshi expressed happiness that heroines are now getting strong roles and said she wants to choose powerful characters. She added that she never worries about competition, as competition exists everywhere and she believes in discipline and hard work.
