Neena recalled trying to come in the way of Masaba’s acting career and being her ‘biggest critic’ in an interview with Mid-day. Stating Masaba has ‘a lot of potential as an actor’, Neena said, “When I saw the first season, I was surprised. I am Masaba’s biggest critic. She gets upset because I always criticise her, but that’s the role of a mother. But, I was so impressed with her work that I said sorry to her for not letting her act. She has a lot of potential as an actor.”

Neena also reflected on her relationship with Masaba and how it was different to the one she shared with her own mother. She also said Masaba Masaba season 2 tries to not shy away from reality. “We are not crude to talk about it (mental health and other crucial issues) in a particular way. We addressed it sensitively. Every parent is a kid’s support system. The important point that [we’re highlighting] is that you can talk to your parents, and friends about your issues. Back in the day, I could not talk to my mother like Masaba talks to me today. The whole dynamics has changed. In nuclear families, we don’t know whom to talk to. We keep things (bottled up) and they come out in horrible ways. Watching how a mum and daughter talk may help people (do the same),” she said.
