This beauty in the southern filmdom has not been able to find a man in her life for a long time even though Meena and her mother had been looking for a groom. Reasons are many, Meena who happens to be the only child of her parents wanted to get married to someone who was settled in Chennai, so she could be near with her parents. The other reason is a gossip that her mother Raja Mallika who is a former actress and politician is against marriage, as Meena may not get heroine role in films.

Meena is a rare phenomenon. Actresses won’t get chance to pair with heroes in popular commercial films after certain years in industry. Meena born on September 16, 1978 made her debut as a heroine in 1991. This 30 plus actress is heroine in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu films at the same time. She was the favorite heroine of superstar Rajinikanth at one point of time and has acted in four consecutive Rajani films. She is apt heroine for Mohanlal and Mammooty even today. Lately she was chosen to act in superstar Rajni’s Kuselan. She was found paired with Vijayakanth in latest flick Mariyadai.

Meena Durairaj has started her career as a child artist when she was studying in 8th standards in Vidyodhya School, Chennai. Meena completed Master of Arts in History from Madras University under Open University system.

The competition from younger heroines in Tamil is high as every other day new beauties from the age 15 are introduced as heroines. When her chances in Tamil have gone thin, she started concentrating in Malayalam and Kannada films. To withstand the tough competition in the tinsel town, Meena has even shifted her gaze to the small screen.
In this arranged marriage the bridegroom, Vidyasagar, is a software engineer based in Bangalore. A formal engagement ceremony was held at Meena’s residence in Saidapet in which a few of the actress’s friends from the film industry attended.

As any heroines she also was a friend of gossips. It was rumored that she is married to a Japanese man and that she is in love with a Telugu actor and so on. Another gossip was that Meena got married to Kannada actor Sudeep when they acted together in two films. Meena denied all these.

As her 31st birthday is fast approaching she has completed acting with all leading actors in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Meena is busy with Telugu spiritual movie like Venkamma and Malayalam movies.
