She talked about struggling with her own body image after having a child, and how her husband, Angad Bedi, was a pillar of support for her through this phase of self-doubt. “Whatever I am learning or unlearning now is because I have started prioritising myself and being comfortable in my skin. Even when I put on a lot of weight after having a child, my husband made me feel comfortable in my own skin. He would compliment me all the time,” she said.

She added that Angad’s support for her, though expected, was almost bizarre to her because she herself didn’t feel confident in what she was doing and how she looked. She added, “In my head I used to think that I’m jobless right now, whenever I step out I get trolled, and my clothes don’t fit me. I came from a background of beauty pageants, and these things used to matter to me, I am not going to lie. But now, finally in my 40s, I feel like those things did not matter, and I feel the best version of myself,” she said.

Neha, who is continuing her run as a judge on Roadies, married Angad in 2018, and the couple have two children. Angad, who is also an actor, is the son of famous Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi. He has worked in films like Pink (2016), Soorma (2018) and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020).
