Meenakshi was born on April 30, 1967 in New Delhi. She was a brilliant girl from a middle class family. The economic issues couldn’t stop her from getting higher education. She has done B.

Husband of Meenakshi Lekhi
As mentioned
above, Meenakshi came from a traditional middle class family. Her father was
not even ready to spend money on her. In fact, her initial dream of becoming a
doctor was aborted because her father refused to give money.
In this context,
it is surprising that Meenakshi had a love marriage. Her husband is Aman Lekhi,
a noted lawyer of Supreme Court and the son of famous Prem Nath Lakhi.
Meenakshi met Aman while canvassing for a candidate in the Bar Council
Election. Aman was also canvassing for an opposition leader. Meenakshi was
impressed with the intelligence as well as richness of Aman, who was a
millionaire.

asked her parents for permission, they readily got agreed because of the
profile of Aman Lekhi.

visit his home. Meenakshi also got close to many of them and later used these
links as a step to become a prominent BJP leader.

also fighting for Zahira Sheikh was the father in law of Meenakshi Lekhi.
