Neetu recently discussed her struggles in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, calling it the "failure narrative of a successful performer." She stated in the interview, "Today I have no job, despite having worked with 13 National Award winners and in such significant films. A powerful businessman told me he would pay me Rs. 25 lakh per month to become his wage-earning wife. I'm not employed or have any money. I'm starting to worry. After all the labour, I feel undesired here."

The actress asked, "Should I suffocate myself to death?" using Sushant Singh Rajput as an example. She also questioned if individuals only gain the reputation they need and want after they have passed away. She disclosed that many individuals had thought of performing Sushant's action. On June 14, 2020, Sushant's body was discovered at his apartment in Mumbai. According to rumours, the actress has signed on for two other undisclosed projects, about which nothing is known.
