As per an old indiatoday article, Neetu Kapoor nee Singh has a lot to say when asked about the Bombay film world. The site noted the actress – who was last seen in Jugjugg Jeeyo, saying, “Dimple has kidneys for brains, but she is so beautiful that you just sit there and gape at her. I don’t go for pseudo directors like Satyajit Ray, I can never understand his films.”

Neetu Kapoor continued, “I don’t mind arty directors like Basu Bhattacharya and (Shyam) Benegal, in fact I am acting in Basu’s film. I have great ‘tuning’ with Chopra and Ashok Roy, but the other directors don’t give any leeway and are on their own ego trip.”
While in New Delhi for a two-day holiday to visit her sick grandmother, Neetu complained, “I never get any peace in Bombay, the only regret I have about being an actress. I am looking forward to going to London for a month with my mother, (naturally) Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and Rekha.”
