​From talking about 'camera shy' husband to commenting on her chemistry with Mohanlal; Meena pours her heart out in 'Panam Tharum Padam'

Actress Meena is one of the much-loved actors in south India. From her entry to Tamil movies as a child actress with Sivaji Ganeshan to her blockbusters with Mohanlal, the actress often left movie buffs stunned by her acting stint. Recently, in the finale episode of the game show 'Panam Tharum Padam' the actress was seen as a guest and she shared some interesting memories too.

2/5

​'My husband is camera shy'

In the show, which was shot before the unexpected demise of Meena's husband, she was seen fondly talking about him.

"One thing nobody knows about my husband is that he is a camera shy person. When I do movies and photoshoots, it is very hard for him to face the camera. During the wedding, he didn't have a chance thus we could click this picture," she said.

3/5

​'Rajinikanth is a jovial person'

Talking about acting with Rajinikanth in the movie 'Muthu', she said "I knew him ever since my childhood so I was not scared. He is a jovial person, a bit naughty too". She also praised his spirit and appreciated his performance in a bald look in the movie 'Sivaji'.

4/5

​Movie debut with Sivaji Ganesan

"When I was in pre-KG then, I went along with my mom for an event and I was asked to put a garland on him. While doing it, he noticed and asked me my name. The very next day, the production team reached my home and I was taken to their office. Initially, I was asked to play a boy and they suggested cutting my long hair, but both I and my mom were not ready for it. Sivaji sir learned about it and he said 'Ok, let it be a girl then'. Soon the script was changed and I played a child in the movie 'Nenjangal'," she said.

5/5

​'I am more comfortable with Mohanlal'

"Everyone asks me about my chemistry with Mohanlal. To be frank, I don't know. I am comfortable with everyone and with him, I am more comfortable. The comfort you get sharing the workspace with someone who helps you without even asking for it," she said.
