Meanwhile, Neetu recently worked with filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar on an ad film. Sarkar, who has films like "Parineeta", "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag", "Mardaani" and "Lafangey Parindey" to his credit, has also directed a number of ad films in the past with few involving Neetu. "This feels like the new start to my career. I had begun shooting with Pradeep dada at the start of my career in ads and I feel like this is the new beginning with him. I look forward to more such experiences in future," Neetu said in a statement. "It is super fun to work with Pradeep dada and especially when you get to gorge on authentic Bengali food on the sets," she added.
