Even when Neetu travelled to Chandigarh to begin shooting for her comeback film Jug Jugg Jeeyo , the veteran actress wrote a heartwarming note for her husband, which read: “While Kapoor Sahab, you aren’t here holding my hand, I know you are with me .. #RnR thank you for encouraging me to do this.”

Well, in a recent chat with Film Companion, Ranbir opened up about his mother’s comeback. The actor shared that after what they went through, his sister and he realized how much his mother had sacrificed to build the family. Ranbir explained that when she got married at 21, she gave up her career. However, he felt that now it was time for her to go back to acting. Ranbir shared, “So, we convinced her. She was low on confidence, but then Karan Johar offered her Jug Jugg Jeeyo and she really enjoyed the process. Slowly, she’s getting the acting bug back. She did acting classes, she did diction classes. She sat with me on her scenes saying, “This is a monologue that I’m doing, how should I do it?” Just to be busy is so important as a human being, and it also helps in healing.”
