Talking about her successful journey in the entertainment industry, Neha recently said, "It feels great. I always tell people that I am still living in a dream. How can this happen? A small-town girl from Rishikesh went to Delhi and then Bombay. It (the journey) has been good. Never thought about where I have reached today. It feels amazing and I think even now I have to make it even bigger in life. I started singing at the age four and till 16 I was only doing bhajan sandhyas (religious songs). If you see my Jagran footage, I used to sort of party there, too. I would dance and sing bhajan's as a little kid and people used to… paagal ho jaate the (go crazy). I have been partying since then."
