Hyderabad, May 2025 – South Indian film veteran Meena, known for her remarkable work in Telugu and Tamil cinema, has once again found herself under the media spotlight. But this time, it’s not for her acting — it’s for rumors swirling around her personal life. After losing her husband during the COVID-19 pandemic, speculation about her remarriage has intensified, especially linking her to Kollywood star Dhanush. However, Meena has consistently denied these claims, seeking to protect her family’s privacy.
A Star from Childhood: Meena’s Journey
Meena’s career spans over four decades, beginning as a child artist and blossoming into one of the most beloved actresses in South Indian cinema. Her versatility across Telugu and Tamil films has earned her a dedicated fan following. Off-screen, she married a software engineer and embraced motherhood, giving birth to a daughter, Nainika. Life seemed peaceful until tragedy struck.
The Loss That Changed Everything
In 2022, Meena’s husband passed away from COVID-19-related complications, leaving her to face the challenges of single parenthood. Since then, Meena has taken on the role of both mother and guardian, dedicating herself to raising Nainika, who is now making her own mark in the film industry with an appearance in Vijay Teri.
Rumors Ignite: The Dhanush Link
Speculation about Meena’s remarriage started gaining traction shortly after news of Dhanush’s separation from his wife, Aishwarya, became public. Social media and entertainment outlets buzzed with gossip about a possible relationship between Meena and Dhanush. The rumors escalated when actor Bayilwan Ranganathan claimed in a viral YouTube video that the two were planning to marry—a statement that was met with widespread criticism from fans and industry insiders alike.
Meena’s Response: Denial and a Plea for Respect
Meena has publicly addressed these rumors, expressing frustration and sadness over the unwarranted attention. She made it clear that she is not considering remarriage and remains focused on her daughter’s upbringing. “It hurts when such stories surface so soon after my husband’s passing,” Meena shared, urging fans and media to respect her family’s privacy.
Industry Support: Geetha Krishna’s Perspective
Senior director Geetha Krishna recently spoke about the situation in an interview, offering a supportive stance. She pointed out that moving on and starting anew is a natural part of life and should not attract criticism. “Meena is a beloved figure in the film community, especially among family audiences,” Geetha Krishna said. “If she chooses to remarry, it’s her personal choice, and it should be accepted with respect.”
Calls for Compassion Amid Gossip
The film fraternity has united in defending Meena’s dignity. Actor Sarath Kumar condemned the spread of baseless rumors and called for accountability for those who propagate such stories. Fans and colleagues alike are urging everyone to show empathy and refrain from sensationalizing the personal lives of public figures.
Looking Ahead: Meena’s Focus on Family and Career
For now, Meena continues to balance her career with her responsibilities as a mother. She remains a respected and cherished figure in South Indian cinema, admired not only for her talent but also for her strength during difficult times. As the rumors persist, many hope the media and public will honor her privacy and focus on her contributions to film.
