You started in Bollywood with the Priyadarshan comedy Garam Masala. You get up from the pot and do a back kick, and it flushes! ( Laughs) Even to open the door or flush the toilet, I only used kicks. I have been kicking and punching ever since I remember. My mother enrolled me in martial arts when I was in the third or fourth standard. I am also the face of NBA Basketball in India.Īcting came to me. Then I got an award from Atal Bihari Vajpayee when I was in first year of college. I represented India when I was in ninth standard. I have been doing martial arts since school. I am also the brand ambassador of Taekwondo Federation of India, a Korean fraternity. He made me meet the writer Audrey (Arkins) and told her in front of me, ‘I’d like you to write a character around Neetu and her skills’. He said he had a film for me and asked me to meet in two-three weeks. I said I was a martial artiste and have represented India thrice. There I met the producer David Zelon to whom I was introduced by Palak Patel, executive vice-president of Sony Pictures. I was attending a special screening of Bad Boys in Calvercity, Los Angeles where I am based now. Never Back Down 4 is a woman-oriented action film. I enjoyed every bruise, every cut I got while shooting this film. You must be in a mood for celebration even careerwise with a Hollywood film under you belt.

It’s just their girlfriends and a couple of cousins. We stay together in Mumbai and we never have a lot of guests. And yesterday was my younger brother’s birthday.
