Neetu told Filmfare that on returning to sets she felt a bit anxious. "For me to agree to Jug Jugg Jeeyo took a lot because for the first time I didn't have anyone with me. It was quite an experience. Also, my husband had passed away recently, so I was a bit shaken up inside. I needed something to make me feel stronger. I was anxious initially but gradually became used to the routine," she added.
