She further adds, "A lot of people then advised me to not do this film and wait for another better opportunity because this film had no known faces, a first time director, first time producer, the whole team was new. But PKP, opened up a world of opportunities for me, and 'Neha' literally marked me on the map of the industry, and created a unique identity for the audience to remember me by. I truly believe in Destiny, and that the Universe has a larger plan for each of us. This is why I can honestly say, the film chose me, I didn't choose the film. It was meant to be this way.”
