Emphasizing the significance of financial independence for both genders, she also expressed the belief that 'women need men,' citing a personal example.

During a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Neena conveyed her thoughts in Hindi.

Neena said, ¡°I want to say that it¡¯s not necessary to believe in ¡®faltu feminism¡¯ or the idea that ¡®women are equal to men.¡¯ Instead, focus on achieving financial independence and giving attention to your work. If you¡¯re a housewife, don¡¯t look down on it; it¡¯s an important role. Boost your self-esteem and avoid thinking of yourself as small. That¡¯s the main message I want to convey. Additionally, men and women are not equal. The day men start getting pregnant, that day we will be equal.¡±

¡°I had to catch a flight once at 6 a.m. I did not have a boyfriend at that time. I came out of the house at 4 a.m., and it was dark. A man started following me; I went back to my house and missed my flight. The next day, I booked the same flight. But I stayed at my male friend¡¯s house, and he dropped me off. I need a man.¡±

The actor candidly discussed her self-reliance aspiration, emphasizing the ongoing journey toward independence.
