In December last year, when she was shooting for Jugg Jugg Jeeyo in Chandigarh, Neetu had tested positive for COVID-19. She had shared, “Earlier this week I tested positive for Covid-19. All safety measures are being followed and I am thankful to the authorities for all their help and quick response. I am in self-quarantine, taking medication on my doctor’s advice and feeling better. I am so grateful for all your love and support! Please stay safe, wear a mask, keep safe distance.”
