Rahul Rawail was the director of the 1987 film Dacait. The film also stars Sunny Deol, Raakhee, Raza Murad, Suresh Oberoi, Paresh Rawal, and Urmila Matondkar in addition to Meenakshi. It is based on a character who becomes a dacoit after experiencing oppression at the hands of the local zamindars (landlords).
In an interview with Times of India, Meenakshi said, “With Sunny, I had a kiss in Dacait, which happens just before a song. I give full credit to Sunny for being very professional about it and making me comfortable too. But the Censors cut that. With Sanju, I started on a fan-moment note. I had seen him shooting for Rocky with Tina Munim. I was very young then. I found him very handsome and cute. And when my chance to work with him in Inaam Dus Hazaar came, I did tell him about that shoot. As for Amitji, I think I will never forget the aerial shots we took during the song Jaane do jaane do, mujhe jaana hai in Shahenshah.”
When discussing her role in Awara Baap alongside Rajesh Khanna, she remarked, “On the Awara Baap sets, he wasn’t late. He was willing to practise with me. I never felt like a stranger around him. If he ever arrived late on a particular day, it was at the request of the director since he had scenes later in the day.”
With Painter Babu, Meenakshi made her cinematic debut in 1983. She then appeared as a leading lady in a number of films, including Hero, Shahenshah, Ghayal, Damini, Ghatak, and Satyamev Jayate. In addition to Love Marriage, Meri Jung, Inteqam, Vijay, Aag Se Khelenge, Joshilaay, Awaargi, Amba, Ghar Ho To Aisa, and Humlaa, the actor also appeared in those films.
