Neena had recently revealed in an interview that she would be happy if Bollywood also gave work to actresses, the way Hollywood treats an actor like Meryl Streep. Now, her name is on the same list as Streep, after her film The Last Color has been in the top 344 films competing for Best Picture at the Oscars. Neena says that today, the roles being written for women are different. "I'm getting a lot of different roles to play now. Some are of mothers but some are different but very challenging parts. I have finished seven projects, including web shows already. Panga releases this month. There is Shubh Mangal Zyaada Savdhaan that I just finished, then there's Nikkhil Advani's bext (starring Arjun Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh), that I was shooting for in Patiala. My role in that film is a secret but everyone will be surprised when they see me in it."
