Meenakshi Seshadri is one of the most loved and esteemed actresses of the 90s, and she needs no introduction. She won over audiences' hearts with her unmatched acting mettle in unforgettable films like Damini, Hero, Ghayal and more. Not only did Meenakshi gain recognition for her versatile acting skills, but her mesmerising beauty and superb dance skills also captivated fans. Meenaki may have stepped away from Bollywood in 1995, but audiences are talking about her to this day. Recently, though, we stumbled upon a Reddit post that painted the actress in a not-so-good light, highlighting her terrible behaviour at a past event. And let's just say netizens had a lot to say about it.
Recently, we found a Reddit post that shed light on Meenakshi Seshadri and her behaviour on and off screen. The OP began by stating that they were a huge admirer of the actress owing to her 'wonderful performances' in films like Damini. They also mentioned that they were 'appreciative' of her educational background and skill in mastering many dance forms. However, the OP painted Meenakshi in a different light when they narrated an incident that had involved a close friend of theirs.
According to the OP, Meenakshi had attended an event as a chief guest. The OP's close friend had been a part of the event and was very excited to meet the actress. However, Meenakshi was seemingly very rude to her fans. The OP penned:
"Meenakshi was extremely rude, arrogant and treated people in the event like crap! She refused to acknowledge anyone, even the lead performer of the show, she behaved as if she didn't exist when she tried to speak to her and througout the whole event was either making faces or throwing tantrums something which I would have never expected as she comes across as a sweet humble lady in the interviews."
The OP's friend also noted that Meenakshi would 'flip and transform into this totally different personality' in front of the camera. They claimed that the actress would 'act extremely sweet for the bytes and stills.' The OP ended their note by saying that they didn't want to attend any of Meenakshi's admirers, but this experience taught their friend why people said 'you shouldn't meet your heroes.'
The post gave netizens much to talk about, with many discussing various aspects of Meenakshi Seshadri's life. Some brought up her dance academy that had failed, while others discussed the prospect of her Bollywood comeback. Commenting on the story, one user penned, "I agree with that last sentence of urs, never meet ur heroes bc there's a high chance ull be disappointed. And meenakshi does give me the "easily offended, snobbish, conceited lady" type vibe." Another wrote, "Maybe true, as she also refused to take part in Ghayal 2 when approached!" Another user astutely commented, "It is better for people not to judge or have high expectations of celebrities before they have had a personal experience with them, and I also do not know why people associate educational level with the real personality of individuals."

However, now that she is all set to begin her new phase in Mumbai, she wants to reconnect with her old friends from the film industry, including Sangeeta Bijlani. Meenakshi said:
"In my first innings, I didn't really believe in making friends and hanging out with them but this time around I do. Another friend I want to meet is Sangeeta Bijlani."
