“My journey has been like a yo-yo…you know, I saw a big start in the 80s and 90s, then, you know, I left the industry. And then I started my own business, my family’s jewellery business and then I came back with a bang with ‘Fabulous Lives’. It’s been incredible. I am very fortunate to have these opportunities come my way. So, my journey in a nutshell, I would just say that it’s been a roller coaster ride. I have seen ups and downs as well. I’ve seen everything,” she stated.

“I’ll be honest…I left the industry because I thought my shelf life was over. And honestly, when I hit 50 I got very complacent, just going to the office and coming back home being a mom, being a wife and being a working mom. And all of a sudden, you know, I’m back, you know, with a bang…so it shows age is just a number,” Neelam added.

Neelam took a break from the appearing occupation when she was on the peak of her profession. “I left when I was at the top and I feel that that’s how people have sort of somehow remembered me also because I didn’t fizzle out,” she expressed.

Sharing her expertise engaged on the audio sequence, she stated, “I am not so much of a science fiction fan. So this whole universe, and this whole Marvel series is very new to me…and as someone who’s creative, I definitely wanted to get into this medium as well…it’s another world altogether. I actually finished it in a breeze and the whole team was so sort of encouraging and helpful. And I actually had a blast. I felt like I was transported into another world. So for me, it was just I was so excited.”

In the approaching months, she will probably be seen within the third season of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.
