“How long will we be able to keep the kids away from the glare of the media, we don't know. Has the media respected that privacy when it comes to our kids in the past? They definitely have. Has the media protected our kids in the past from the media glare? As much as it would work for them not to, but guess what? They all have. They have all understood and we love that about them."

Neha revealed how she makes her daughter understand the phenomenon of paparazzi in the form of a story. She mentioned:
“Does my daughter now ask me questions? She's like 'Why is everybody clicking your photo?' I keep telling her that your mamma worked really hard, she had a dream and, since her dreams are coming true slowly but surely, that's why people are clicking photos. So dream big and you know people are going to be enamoured that you are living your dream and people click photos. It is a very long and loopy explanation, but it's sweet and then it's storytelling for her every day. She's coming around it.”
