==Career==
Aged 18, Meghaa Nair first began shooting for ''[[Thangam]]'' (2008), portraying the role of the lead actress paired opposite [[Sathyaraj]]. She portrayed Sathyaraj's wife in the film, and wore make-up to present her beyond her real age. She subsequently featured in films including ''[[Pasupathi c/o Rasakkapalayam]]'' (2007) in [[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]]'s comedy track and ''[[Poova Thalaiya (2011 film)|Poova Thalaiya]]'' (2011) as a prostitute, before landing a role in [[Siva (director)|Siva]]'s ''[[Siruthai]]'' (2011) as a police officer. Siva had chosen her after being impressed with some promotional stills from her film ''[[Nellai Santhippu]]'' (2012), and Megha's height was also a factor in convincing the director to cast her in the film. Featuring alongside [[Karthi]] and [[Tamannaah]], ''Siruthai'' remains Megha's highest profile work to date.<ref name="DOB">{{Cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/movie-details/news-interviews/Im-just-an-upcoming-artiste-Megha-Nair/articleshow/6920195.cms |title=I'm just an upcoming artiste: Megha Nair |website=The Times of India|date=14 November 2010 }}</ref> The actress changed her stage name from Megha Nair to Meghna Nair in June 2011, hoping to garner further film offers.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/movie-details/news-interviews/Megha-Nair-is-now-Meghna-Nair/articleshow/8758578.cms |title=Megha Nair is now Meghna Nair |website=The Times of India|date=7 June 2011 }}</ref> Several of her films in the late 2000s and early 2010s were shelved midst production, including Anish's ''Aadhikkam'', [[Sanjay Ram]]'s ''Sivamayam'' opposite [[Shaam (actor)|Shaam]] and the female-centric film, ''Manmadha Rajyam'', which saw her work alongside actresses [[Akshaya]], [[Keerthi Chawla]], [[Sanghavi]] and [[Tejashree]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2022}}
