Recalling the time when she was almost set to enter wedlock, Neena said, "I had gone to get my clothes made in Delhi when he called up and said, 'I don't want to marry you.' To date, I don't know why but what can I do? I moved on. I would have loved to get married to him. I had a lot of respect for his father and mother; I was living in their house. He's going to read, he's alive, he's happily married. He has children."
