Meenakshi - Glamour Technique to grab offers!

Meenakshi aka Pinky Sarkar fascinated the Kollywood audience with her homely performance in ‘Karuppusamy Kutthagaithaarar’ and created a hope in the minds of audience that she would be a promising performer like Devayani, Sneha, Bhavana, etc. But to the surprise of the audience, she travelled in glamour route from her next film like all her predecessors in the showbiz did. But why she could not sustain her place in Kollywood, what went wrong in the middle and what she is doing to revive her career in Tamil cinema. Scroll down to know the answers for all the above questions.

Though ‘Karuppusamy Kutthagaithaarar’ was a low budget film it succeeded because of Vadivelu comedy track and involving mother sentiment in love which was a new concept. Like Priyamani was short of opportunities after her superb performance in ‘Paruthi Veeran’, Meenakshi also suffered. To grab opportunities, she chose glamour path, participated in the ‘story discussion’ sessions and night parties. As a result of these, she bagged 4 Tamil films viz. Taxi No.4777, Perumal, Rajaadhi Raja and Thoranai and one Malayalam film viz. Chattambinadu. But she could not keep the momentum going. What went wrong?

What was done for her profession had become an evil. She became party addict and she could not concentrate in acting. Moreover, she fell in love with Anjathe and Taxi fame Ajmal. They both openly shared their intimacy and created unwanted scenes in the hotels after consuming drinks in the Bar. It all contributed to ruin her profession. At present, she has only one Tamil film, Mandhira Punnagai which is about to release in a month’s time.

Meenakshi says her portrayal in Mandhira Punnagai will surprise the audience as the director has changed her as that character itself. She is not accepting fresh offers as this film would give her a new image. She added that she was never in quest of opportunities and she only chose among opportunities that come to her.

Though Meenakshi says she is not in the hunt for opportunities her glamourous appearance at the audio launch function of Mandhira Punnagai reveals her ulterior motive. At the function, Meenakshi appeared wearing a yellow sleeveless tops and a blue jeans half-pant (tiny-pant?) that measured not even one foot! Let’s wish Meenakshi that Mandhira Punnagai registers success at the box office and brings a big grin in her face!
