Actress Meenakshi who debuted as lead lady in 'Karuppasamy Kuthagadharar' could not make it big as a heroine. She started dancing in item numbers and had to settle down with supporting characters. She was recently seen as Parthiepan;s wife in 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan'.

The actress is currently shooting for a film 'Ner Mugam'. A couple of days back she slapped an Assistant Director on the shooting spot of this film in Chennai. The shooting had to be halted until Meenakshi gave an apology in writing for slapping the technician in the work spot and assured that she will not repeat this behaviour again.But she is yet to give an explanation to anyone on why she gave such a punishment to her co-worker.

Though the reason for Meenakshi's harsh act was not known, a source reveals that Meenakshi was enraged that the AD entered into her caravan without seeking her permission.
