Meghna Naidu has stated that working in “hot and sexy” roles has never been a problem for her, but she “cannot be limited to doing only that.” In her most recent interview, she also recalled being referred to as a “B-list actress.”
Meghna appeared in a handful of Telugu and Kannada films before moving to Bollywood. Meghna began her career in Hindi entertainment with a renowned music video, the 2002 remix of Lata Mangeshkar’s song Kaliyon Ka Chaman. She subsequently appeared in a number of other music videos, including Saru Maini’s Dil De Diya Tha (Sutta Mix).
Meghna declined kissing/love-making roles
Meghna told ETimes that she is excited to return to the industry at a time when actors have more opportunities for experimentation. “Although I initially relished the attention and labels of being ‘hot’ and’sexy,’ I soon realized that they were impeding my development as an artist. Frustratingly, I was perceived as a sexual object. I turned down roles in Hindi films that required me to participate in kissing or romantic sequences. People were unable to see past my screen persona, and I longed for diverse roles. I ceased attending events and parties because I was fed up with being referred to as a B-list actress.”
Glad to return now
She added that even though she had worked on low-budget films, the filmmakers had always respected her. “I am pleased to return at a time when actors have more opportunities for experimentation. I don’t mind portraying a hot and seductive character, but I cannot be limited to doing so. I have viewed a few OTT series in which intimate sequences appeared to be forced in.”
