Remember Meenamma, the role which Deepika Padukone played in 2013 film Chennai Express? It's clearly etched in everyone's mind. As Chennai Express completed five years, Deepika shared a sweet memory attached to the film. She posted a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram and captioned it as, "When a possessed Meenamma took over the sets of Chennai Express." A portion of the video is from the scene when Meenama kicked Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) while he was fast asleep after she got a nightmare. In the hilarious video, SRK, director Rohit Shetty and the team Chennai Express can be seen laughing at Deepika, as she imitates Meenamma.
