Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan in `Chennai Express`
As the Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Chennai Express' clocks a decade since its release, Deepika, who essayed the role of Meenamma in the superhit film, said it took her sometime to find the Meenamma inside her.
Released in 2013, 'Chennai Express', which was directed by Rohit Shetty, emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year and swept all the major awards and also won the hearts of the masses.
The chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika was enormously loved by the audience while the film also registered great success at the box office.

And while it took me a little while to find Meenamma, a process that is extremely lonely and often times frightening, I'm grateful that we were able to create a character that is not only synonymous with the movie, but also one that continues to receive an abundance of love till this date."
