However, Poonam and Neetu could keep this lie forward only for a month. After that, her in-laws came to know that Neetu was attending an acting workshop and forbade her from it. Neetu convinced her to let her attend the workshop as she had already attended half of the workshop. Her first play was Habib Tanveer’s Charandas Chor in which she played the role of Rani. Initially, she was cast as “Dasi” (the queen’s maid), but the woman who was to play the queen left on a trip, giving Neetu the chance to play the lead role.
