As an actor we mould ourselves in various characters and take up challenges beyond our imagination.”

Some stood by me through this journey, some mocked me for being socially disconnected, some appreciated my efforts while some questioned my willpower. I thank my father, my mother, my beloved wife (Rukmini Sahay), my brother and my darling daughter (Nurvi Neil Mukesh) for patiently dealing with me and my mood swings. I love you all the most. More importantly I thank you , my audience, my fans, for whom I work tirelessly. You have stood by me all these years and it’s your love that has given me the strength to forge ahead. This is for you!! Welcome 2023.”
Many showered love and appreciation on Neil’s transformation and appreciated his dedication. A comment read, “This truly needs appreciation.” Another said, “Superb. That’s not easy brother. It’s very easy for people to say he is actor, he has so many resources, ‘kaun si badi baat hai (it is not a big deal for him)’. But, honestly it’s takes a lot of discipline, dedication, hard work and focus. Hats off! Keep going hard. Looking forward to seeing more of your films in 2023. Stay blessed.”
