My Battle with Glamour Roles
Shocking: Meena’s Competition with Roja! The Real Story Leaked from that Movie with Chiranjeevi! Tollywood star actress Meena recently shared some intriguing details about her career in an interview, personally revealing the intense competition among heroines back in the day. Let’s delve into the full story.
Meena, who shone as a star heroine in both the Telugu and Tamil industries, has starred in numerous successful films. While she largely prioritized performance over glamorous roles, she shared why she once considered doing such roles and how competition among heroines shaped her perspective. Early in her career, seeing other heroines gain immense attention and importance through glamorous roles, Meena too wished to follow suit. She recalled, “I used to cry to my mother, thinking that if I also did glamorous roles like everyone else, I might get the same importance.” However, she later understood that her character roles were what truly brought her recognition, especially after observing how audiences gradually came to respect and cherish her for them.
Speaking about the nature of competition among actresses, Meena stated there was intense rivalry, particularly between her and Roja. She explained that if she had to decline a film due to date issues, Roja would often take it on, and similarly, projects Roja couldn’t do would come her way. She also faced equal competition from actresses like Soundarya, Ramya Krishna, Rambha, and Nagma. Despite this, Meena expressed happiness that her friendships with all of them continue to thrive, mentioning that heroines from the 90s still meet up during festivals and special occasions to celebrate together.
Roja Rivalry: Friends Forever
Meena further shared interesting details about her competition with Roja during the filming of ‘Mutha Mestri’ with Chiranjeevi. “There was a healthy competition between us regarding who would look best in front of the camera, who would arrive first for shooting, and who would deliver dialogues well,” she explained. However, she quickly added that as soon as pack-up was called, everyone would sit together, chat, and have their meals.
Recalling another incident that solidified her views on glamorous roles, Meena recounted her experience of wearing a swimming pool dress in a Prabhu Deva movie. She revealed she tried it once because “everyone else was doing it,” but after putting on the dress, she felt very uncomfortable even coming out of the makeup room. Meena clarified that even the audience who watched the film questioned, “Why did you do such a role?” It was then that she definitively decided that glamorous roles were not suitable for her.
