==Early life==
Meenakshi was born and raised in Kozhencherry, Pathanamthitta district. Growing up in Kozhencherry, Sharmily knows Hindi, English, Malayalam and Tamil.
But Meenakshi left for Chennai to pursue higher studies.
Meenakshi graduated in Maths from the Stella Maris College, Chennai.<ref name="sify.com"/> and received a [[Master of Computer Applications]] (MCA) in India. While in school, she received several acting offers, which she rejected so that she could concentrate on her studies. She did modelling and later hosted a popular phone-in programme, ''Kasumele'' on Jaya TV.<ref name="sify.com"/> People were instantly attracted by her cheerful and youthful approach to anchoring. After graduation, she agreed to appear in the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] film ''[[Aasai Aasaiyai]]''. She followed that role with a [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film, ''Tarak'', before returning to Tamil with ''[[Anbe Anbe]]'', in which she starred alongside [[Shaam (actor)|Shaam]].<ref name=poornima>{{citation|author=Poornima|title=Dhool, the only real Tamil hit|date=19 April 2003|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/apr/19south.htm|accessdate=22 January 2010|publisher=Rediff India Abroad}}</ref>

==Career==
Her debut Tamil movie was ''[[Aasai Aasaiyai]]'' in 2003 with [[Jiiva]], who also made his debut with this film. This movie was not very well received in the box office even though the story and Sharmeelee's acting got good reviews from critics. This was then followed by ''[[Anbe Anbe]]'' with [[Shaam (actor)|Shaam]] was classified as a medium hit in the box office. Her third Tamil movie was Diwan with [[R. Sarathkumar|Sarathkumar]]. This movie won her rave reviews for her performance. It was followed by her Telugu entry through the movie ''Tarak'' in 2003. In 2004, she made her debut in Malayalam Industry with two movies - [[Vellinakshatram (2004 film)|Vellinakshatram]] and [[Kaakkakarumban]]. Her first movie [[Vellinakshatram (2004 film)|Vellinakshatram]] was a mega hit and her performance was appreciated by many. After that she established herself in Malayalam movies with a string of hit movies. The same year, [[Youth festival]] and [[Black (2004 film)|Black]](cameo appearance) were also released. Later however, she failed to sustain in Malayalam film industry and tried her luck in other regional languages.

In 2005, she appeared in the movie [[Junior Senior (2005 film)|Junior Senior]], where she acted aside [[Mukesh (actor)|Mukesh]] and [[Kunchacko Boban]]. This movie was a remake of Hindi classic hit, [[Yes Boss (film)|Yes Boss]], where Meenakshi reprised the role played by [[Juhi Chawla]]. Same year, [[Ponmudipuzhayorathu]] was also released. Most of the songs she acted in were hits. "''Oru chri kandaal"'' was one of the top songs of Malayalam in the year 2005. So was " ''Kalla Kalla Kochu Kalla''". Later, Meenakshi faded away from the films.

==Personal life==
In 2004, Meenakshi told an interviewer that "I love to act in more Malayalam films as the characters here have depth and the heroines have much more to do than just look good."
