When Karan (Johar) offered me the film, I asked him to tell the script. He called Raj Mehta, the director, and when I heard the script, I absolutely loved my role and immediately agreed to do the film.

Once I arrived in Chandigarh, I mustered up a lot of courage on my own to get into character. suddenly I thought I was going to fumble, that I wouldn’t give my 100 percent, that something would go wrong. I was very uncertain,” she explains, adding that working on the film made her feel a lot. helped.
Neetu also shared that Rishi misses his son Ranbir very much. “His mobile screensaver still has Rishi’s picture. There are days when I see tears in his eyes but he stays strong.” She added: “Rishi had a larger than life personality and he is not the kind of person who can be forgotten. Every day I meet someone who has a story or an incident about him. I have l feel, somewhere, that he’s still connected to me.
