After doing movies in South India, Meera ventured into the Hindi film industry with Satish Kaushik’s 2014 comedy-drama Gang Of Ghosts. She was also seen in 1920 London and Section 375.

Meera says, “The only time when I came to Bollywood there was a buzz that Priyanka’s sister was also coming but honestly, I have not faced many comparisons. I have not got any work because of Priyanka.Producer have not cast me just because I am her sister. Honestly, being related to her has not helped me in my career but it has really helped me in a way that people did take me seriously. They did not take me for granted as they knew I was coming from a family who knew cinema. That is the only privilege I got. Otherwise, I had to struggle.”
