"My friend once said something really nice to me. I was arguing, complaining about how my husband doesn't do this, or her husband doesn't do that. So she explained to me, you know, you should tell your husband that in love, things like property, jewellery, clothes, they're all included. If I just say, 'I love you, I love you so much,' and that's it… That’s not enough. You have to do something too. Give something. At least a saree on my birthday," Neena explained.
Lately, the talented actress has been busy promoting her movie Metro In Dino, which features a huge star cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma.
