[...] Be it her squabbling with the urbane photographer Jehangir Chaudhary or her gently reprimanding him about how her name is pronounced ('It's Mee-naa-kshi not Minakshi') or even when she is screaming at her infant, you believe it's Meenakshi you’ve met. And therein lies the key to her iconic performance."[13] Her performance was later included in the 2010 issue of the "Top 80 Iconic Performances" byFilmfare.[14]
In 2004, she worked in a independentEnglish language film titledChai Pani Etc..., made by independent maker Manu Rewal.[15] The film drew huge response at the35th International Film Festival of India[16] but had a delayed theatrical release a year later and became a box office disaster.[17]

Her Aisha is a nuanced creation — ambitious, sympathetic, believable — and Mr. Mukerji, making his directing debut, is right to let her run away with the film."[39] The film emerged as a commercial success at the box-office, grossing ₹471 million worldwide.[40]
