Back to Tamil and once again thanks to my dear darling Khushbu Sundar for bringing me back to what I love the most. Lot has changed in these 7yrs. But loving every bit and need all your love n support like always….yes you are gonna hate me.”
While her role or character has not been revealed yet, we can easily assume it is going to be a negative one since she has revealed that the audience is going to hate her. Meera will be starting on Colors TV Tamil from March 28.
