Item Girl's Emotional Journey In Maharshi

Meenaskhi Dixit shot to fame with the special song in Super Star Mahesh Babu's Dookudu which turned out to be a blockbuster. Many predicted a bright future for her, but lady luck deserted her. Now she is once again doing an important role in Mahesh Babu's milestone 25th film Maharshi.

Meenakshi Dixit speaking to scribes shared her emotional journey. She said she was suffering from Dengue and Typhoid when Vamsi Paidipally contacted her. She revealed, “I was bedridden, so I had to explain my situation to director Vamshi Paidipally sir. He trusted me when I told him that I’ll manage to recover in time for the film’s first schedule. I took three weeks to recover. I was on a double dose of vitamins, drank lots of water, took long walks and practiced yoga to accelerate my recovery.”

She said she cried on the sets on the first day of her shoot. She revealed, “My shot was ready, and Mahesh and everybody else was waiting for me. However, I had ended up losing my bag which contained a bunch of valuable stuff, including my makeup kit. I tried frantically to look for it but to no avail. Subsequently, I broke down. However, the crew very kindly came to the rescue and managed to trace the bag for me. I apologized to Mahesh Babu for the delay, but he seemed quite alright about it."

Meenakshi speaking about her role in the film stated, “I play Mahesh’s companion in the film. A unique chemistry surrounds our relationship. I stand by him through good times and bad.”
