Talking about Meenakshi, she became one of Hindi cinema's leading actresses in the 1980s and 1990s.

She made her debut with the film Painter Babu in 1983 and her second film Hero catapulted her to instant stardom.

Meenakshi gained stardom with her work in films such as “Aandhi-Toofan”, “Meri jJung,” “Swati,” “Dacait,” “Inaam Dus Hazaar,” “Shahenshah,” “Awaargi,” “Ghar Ho To Aisa,” “Damini” and “Ghatak,” after which, she left the film industry to raise her children in the United States with her husband, where she runs the Cherish Dance School. A documentary was made about her life, titled Meenakshi Accept Her Wings.

Wow! Meenakshi ji still has that same grace and charm after all these years 😍 That retro look is giving me major nostalgia! Our 80s stars had a different level of elegance altogether. #GoldenEraOfBollywood

Khel Khel Mein was way ahead of its time! The transition from comedy to thriller was so smooth. Wish today's filmmakers would learn from these classics. Meenakshi ma'am's dance brought back childhood memories of watching Doordarshan movie nights with family.

The choreography seems a bit stiff compared to the original, but full marks for effort! At 60+, she's still got more energy than many young actresses today. Respect for keeping our film heritage alive through her dance school abroad 🇮🇳

As someone who grew up in the 90s, Meenakshi Seshadri was my first crush after watching Damini! Her expressions in emotional scenes were unmatched. Good to see her happy and healthy - wish she'd make a comeback in character roles.

The music of that era was something else! Kishore-Asha combo with RD Burman's magic ✨ Today's remixes can never match the original charm. Meenakshi aunty's tribute is sweet, but nothing beats Neetu ji's original performance - those expressions were killer!

Interesting how this film was adapted from a French novel! Our filmmakers back then had such creative vision. Meenakshi ma'am's post makes me want to rewatch all these classics. New gen should know this is REAL Bollywood, not just item numbers and remakes.
