3-How would you describe your Life-journey so far. Did you ever feel like an outsider?
Meera- I never had thought i will become an actress but i m one now. My elder sister Prof Ashwinee Bapat ( prof of Psychology at wilson college) suggested me to do diploma in dramatics. My parents were not happy but for my hapiness they supported me i am blessed. By god s grace i never struggled and kept getting work. Some how i was satisfied with whatever work i got. I never bind myself for lead roles.
Initially when i started working people used to treat me as an outsider but i never took it heartly. And after some years passed i always made new comers comfortable. Even with spot boys and technical staff i try to make them comfort and always talk to them about their families and themself.
4- what's the first thing you would do once the Lockdown is lifted
Meera- I just want to perform either in front of camera or on stage. Desperately waiting.
